There are many silly and funny things we did as children. When
you recall, it turns out to be a great memory. One of such things that I did
was to play with my shadow. Once you are able to locate your shadow, it either
becomes something you try to run faster than or something you try to be taller
than. I think I even tried standing on my shadow and making it stand straight
when it appeared bent. Oh my childhood!
Psalm 23 is a very popular psalm read almost everywhere and
at all times. I think someone once said Psalm 23 over a meal we were about to
eat. I must have opened my eyes slightly to peep at the person and ask myself
silently, ‘Really? What happened to ‘Bless this food Oh Lord for Christ’s sake,
amen!?”
Back to the Psalmist who in verse 4 of the popular Psalm
said,
“Even though I walk through the valley of the SHADOW of
death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff they
comfort me”
Recall that he did not say the valley of death itself. He said
even if it is valley of the SHADOW of death, how much more death itself. He had
nothing to fear because shadows are but temporal. If God can take care of the
shadow, then He can take care of that situation creating the shadow. So whether
we are crawling, walking, running or flying through the valley, He is right by
our side; giving us all the comfort we need.
And through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned,
And the flame shall not consume you. (Isaiah 43:2)
Be still dear friend and know that He is God!
