We read Psalm 23 in the shadow of loss and focus on the part most people skip too fast: the valley. We challenge the idea that God’s best gift is escape and hold tight to the promise that He is with us in the dark.

• recapping Yahweh as shepherd and God’s provision of rest and renewal 
• correcting the common misread that God prevents the valley 
• walking through the valley without fear because God is present 
• finding comfort in the rod and staff as protection and guidance 
• seeing God’s provision as a table in front of enemies and an overflowing cup 
• trusting goodness and mercy to follow us all our days and forever with the Lord
