Everyone of us will walk through the valley of the shadow of death. No one is immune from grief and loss, but there is one thing that makes all the difference. He is with us! God is with us. We don’t walk this road alone. We don’t mourn alone. God’s presence can fill our soul and give strength when we need it the most.
Main Points:
1. God created us with emotions. We have the ability to feel joy, happiness, comfort, and peace. We also have the ability to feel stress, anxiety, fear, pain, and grief. No where in the Bible does it tell us to bury our feelings. It doesn’t tell us we are unspiritual if we feel our emotions.
2. I think that often we see more clearly as time goes by. When we look back, we realize that the only thing that sustained us during the dark days of grief was the presence of the Lord. We’ll often say, “If it wasn’t for Jesus, I don’t know how I would have made it through that difficult time.
3. Let’s find comfort in the promises of God. Yes, he is close to the brokenhearted. Yes, he does rescue those whose spirits are crushed.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Psalm 34:17-19 - “The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
The righteous person faces many troubles,
but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.”
Psalm 23:4 - “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me.”
