Psalm 23:4 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.
When I consider my long path of life, a song Debra Talley used to sing comes to mind: “Life Is Hard, But God Is Good”.
I can truthfully say that every unexpected assault on my pathway, ever frightening my heart; I was never alone.
I’m thankful that I know that Jesus, the Great Shepherd, is leading me.
If we know that He is in absolute control of all of the paths of life, then we can pass through the shadows in peace and security, Psa. 37:23,24.
The Lord always leads us in the best path of all: His path!
Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

“All the way my Savior leads me. — What have I to ask beside? — Can I doubt His tender mercy, — Who thro’ life has been my guide? — Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, — Here by faith in Him to dwell! — For I know whate'er befall me. — Jesus doeth all things well; — For I know whate'er befall me. — Jesus doeth all things well;
“All of the way my Savior leads me. — Cheers each winding path I tread, — Gives me strength for every trial. — Feeds me with the living bread. — Tho’ my weary steps may falter; — And my soul a-thirst may be, — Gushing from the Rock before me, — Lo, a spring of joy I see; —
Gushing from the Rock before me, —. Lo, a spring of joy I see;
“All the way my Savior leads me; — O the fullness of His love! — Perfect rest to me is promised. — In my Father's house above. — When my spirit, clothed, immortal, —. Wings it's flight to realms of day, — This my song thro’ endless ages: —. “Jesus led me all the way." — This my song thro’ endless ages: — “Jesus led me all the way."
