We all face hard times in life at one time or another. And when we do, we can always find some comfort in the Bible. One example is Psalm 23. In this song of David, we are reminded that the Lord is our shepherd. We are like sheep needing care, love, and guidance. We find these things in the Lord. He helps us rest, He restores our soul, and He leads us in the right way. Do we follow? As Christ-followers, we stand up for the name of God. While it feels like we may sometimes be in a valley of hardship, God sees us through. He is with us in times of trouble with His rod and staff to protect us. He prepares us and gives us hope. He anoints us and sets us apart, sanctifying us. Our cups overflows with His grace and blessings. We can rest assured that goodness and mercy will be ours and that we will eventually dwell with God and Jesus Christ for eternity. Fact is, God will fight our battles in life. Will you let Him in to fight them for you?
