Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 31, Day 4: Wednesday, 2nd August 2023. TOPIC : Psalms 23: No Fear Of Whatsoever (4)

“4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:”

No fear but Confidence. When David was recounting his testimony to King Saul, he said,

“34. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:

35. And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. 1 Samuel 17:34-35.

That is what a shepherd does, so the sheep have no fear of evil. Even in the face of glaring oppositions, they are confident.

If David can rescue a sheep from a bear, how much more our Savour, Jesus Christ, whom God gave on our behalf? Since Jesus is our Shepherd, the shadow of death shouldn’t be a threat. What is shadow of death? Terrible Sickness, fierce oppositions, threat of the enemy, situations that looks scary, they may look like the valley of shadow of death but they are not, because Jesus is with us. Apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 1:7, 

“7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 

If you are sure of being Jesus’ sheep, you have power over fear of the unknown, because our Shepherd is with us to rescue us always.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
