生活中有些情况会让我们感到恐惧，就像潜伏着危险的死荫幽谷。也许我们收到了一份令人惊讶的医疗诊断报告或解雇通知；也许我们失去了挚爱的人；也许我们的婚姻正在破裂；也可能是同时出现许多困难的情况。
在这样的时刻，有主在我们身边是何等的祝福！
诗人并不惧怕，因为他知道耶和华与他同在，像牧人一样看顾着他。在神面前，他曾享受过一段美好和平的时光，那时一切似乎都很顺利。他相信这位好牧人不会在困难的时候抛弃他。
我们可以相信神永远不会离弃我们，因为祂与我们同在的应许不仅是今生的，而且是永远的。
作耶稣的羊是有福的，因为祂是好牧人；好牧人为羊舍命，永不离弃他们（约 10:11-18, 27-30）。祂供应他们一切的需要。祂保护他们远离邪恶。即使在生命最黑暗的低谷中，耶稣的羊也不必害怕，因为他们的牧人已经战胜了死亡。耶稣已经除去了死亡的毒刺，现在祂藉着信心，将喜乐、永恒的生命白白赐给我们！
主啊，我在你里面，随时得平安，因为你常与我同在。你的同在使我确信，在你全能的看顾下我是安全的。主啊，感谢你。阿们。
诗篇 23篇
1耶和华是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。
2他使我躺卧在青草地上，领我在可安歇的水边。
3他使我的灵魂苏醒，为自己的名引导我走义路。
4我虽然行过死荫的幽谷，也不怕遭害，因为你与我同在，你的杖、你的竿都安慰我。
5在我敌人面前，你为我摆设筵席，你用油膏了我的头，使我的福杯满溢。
6我一生一世必有恩惠、慈爱随着我，我且要住在耶和华的殿中，直到永远。
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. . . ." - Psalm 23:4
Some situations in our lives can make us fearful, like a dark valley where danger lurks. Maybe we've received a surprising medical report or a layoff notice. Maybe we've lost a dear loved one. Maybe our marriage is falling apart. Or it could be any number of hard situations at once.
What a blessing it is to have the Lord at our side in such times!
The psalmist did not fear because he knew the Lord was with him, always caring for him like a good shepherd. He had enjoyed good and peaceful times in God's presence, when all seemed to go well. And he trusted that the good shepherd would not abandon him in difficult times.
We can trust that God will never abandon us because his promise is not only to be with us here in this life but for all eternity.
Jesus' sheep are happy because he is the good shepherd who has laid down his life for them and will never let them go (John 10:11-18, 27-30). He supplies all of their needs. He protects them from evil. Even in the darkest valleys of life, Jesus' sheep need not fear because their shepherd has defeated death. Jesus has already taken away the sting of death—and now he offers us, free of charge, through faith, a happy and eternal life!
Lord, in you I have peace at all times, because you are always with me. The certainty of your presence assures me that I am safe in your omnipotent care. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
