"In Psalm 23:4 we find these words, and they set up the context of the verses to come: 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil.'
Did you see the “even though / I will” in that famous verse? It’s amazing that the Good Shepherd walks with us right through the valley of the shadow of death. God is there with us through real hardship. He’s with us when a loved one gets sick. He’s with us when we bury someone we care for. He’s close when our heart is shattered. He’s close when we lose some sort of good thing we’d hoped for.
No matter the troubles you’re walking through right now, the good news is not simply that God will help you. That’s not the whole message. The message is that God is with you. He’s with you in the sickness. He’s with you at the grave. He’s with you when the job opportunity doesn’t come through. He’s with you when you receive hard news. He’s with you in the chemo ward. He’s with you in the storm, and in the wind, and in the trial, and in the valley.
God Almighty—your Good Shepherd—is right there in the midst of every difficulty with you." ~ Louie Giglio
