“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me” (v4). David’s most comforting psalm speaks honestly about life under the “shadow of death”. Despite being surrounded by enemies, the psalmist declared that he would not fear evil, because the Good Shepherd’s presence brings light into darkness. When circumstances cause anxiety, fear, or sadness, his presence with us is like “green pastures” and “quiet waters”, and he restores our hurting souls (v2).

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever (v6). The struggles of life are real, but God’s goodness and mercy will have the last word.
