Here in our daily devotional today, we will take a thorough look at a verse from David's psalms chapter 23 verses 4. The Psalmist said, "๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ท๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฉ, ๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ช๐ญ: ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ [๐ข๐ณ๐ต] ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฆ;...."
The Psalmist stated clearly that he's not afraid to walk through the valley of the shadow of death. In other words, the valley of the shadow of death can be dark frightening situations in life that many would be afraid of going through it. At some point the majority decide not to take that part not knowing that that's the part to greatness.
Why I said, its the part to greatness? Look at David the psalmist. Was he a king at that time when he wrote the psalm? Was he sitting on a throne and uttering those words? No! He was just a youth looking after his father's herds but the problems he is going through are the darkest shadows of death. He as a youth was going through some darkest frightening situation in life because God was actually preparing him for the throne of Israel. In other words, he was going through big problems because his calling was a higher calling. Therefore, the cost is to go through those darkest part of life.
Moreover, as one read further down the scripture, one will notice that David said, "๐ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ช๐ญ: ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ [๐ข๐ณ๐ต] ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฆ;...." There is a consciousness that governs David's life, which gives him the strength to walk through those darkest paths in life. In the deepest knower of David as a shepherd boy, he understood well that he is not alone. Though physically he's alone, yet in his consciousness, God is always with Him. Therefore, he fears no evil.
Why would someone have no fear, or fear nothing? Because one has someone greater than the forces of this world within him. For David, he knows deep within His knower that the God of his fathers is with him. That knowing gave him the assurance and the guarantee that God is with him, no matter what. God is always with him and it is God walking through the valley of the shadow of death through David's body. Remember Galatians 2:20.
You may be going through something in life which is the valley of the shadow of death in your life and you are questioning yourself, why me. Lord, why me when it should be that leader or boss? Why me when it should be that Pastor or Prophet? Why, its always me the subject of everyone when I have done nothing. I assure you, God is using your body to walk through the valley of the shadow of death to prepare you for your greatness because somewhere along the way you have ask for promotion, you asked for increase in life, you may have asked for more of God, you want to experience more of his power, therefore, accept the pruning. Receive this prophecy and the Grace of perseverance, persistence and endurance to walk through every valley of the shadow of death in your life, education, business, job, family and ministry, etc.
