Trust In The Lord

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me..."

Fear engages an ongoing assault on our heart and mind. If left unchecked, fear can whip our imagination into a frenzy of anxiety. Though only an ounce of what we fear may ever come to pass, we tend to give it a ton of attention. It is madness when we are overcome by fear.

Jesus walks with us through our valleys. He may not deliver us out of the valley, but He mostly certainly does not abandon us in the valley. He walks with us through the valley of doubt. He walks with us through the valley of shame. He walks with us through the valley of transition. He walks with us through the valley of disease. He walks with us through the valley of the shadow of death.

In our valleys we can forget our faith and be consumed by our fears, or we can slow down and let the Lord love us through this time of loss. No amount of pain can separate you from the love of God. So go to Christ for comfort. He comforts our crushed heart with His caring touch. Trust in Christ is a bridge to His comfort. Above all else, trust in the Lord overcomes fear.
