Psalm 23:4 NIV
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.

We probably will never know how true this is
until we’ve been here, but others have told us
how present He is during those times. In His
Presence we truly have nothing to fear. I know
of two uses for the rod and staff — to fight off
enemies and to bring straying sheep back on the
path. Either reason would bring comfort!
Sitting there this morning, Annie, aren’t you
amazed at what kind of God we have? He
created the whole universe, everything is in
His power, and He wants to watch over each of
us like a shepherd does His sheep?!!
