Today’s Thought “Affliction’s Treatment” G. Ward

Psalm 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

 

Only our Great Shepherd’s rod and staff, more than any earthen force, can assure safe passage of/from trouble’s devouring our souls and whereas the valley in trials - appears so very deep and dismal, our meditations of HIS unrelenting presence is sunshine on a cloudy day. I’m more prepared with/onto spiritual perseverance in my Lord’s omnipotence, to never again walk in despair.

That to which has been afforded me, never involved consideration of mine own worthiness; for I’ve determined I’m nothing outside HIS grip of grace provided (cf. John 6:44-45).
