Psalms23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green [1] pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest [2] my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. [3]

If walking this valley will make me stronger, and make me know Him more, i walk it. For He is my protector, my Guarantee of overflowing blessings to come! He has promised that He shall anoint my head with oil, ie stronger anointing, and blessings shall come exceedingly, abundantly above all i ask or think. I hold on to that. Lord, i choose to stay in the promised land, and see the harvest of the seed sown. For i do not cling on to things that are temporal, but eternal Lord. Refresh me, Strengthen me, Bring me through. I grab on tightly to Your hand, lean on Your shoulders, and allow You to take my weight and pull me thru. Thank You Jesus.
