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.
How comforting to know The Good Shepherd is with us in the valleys.
David said He uses the staff—a long pole with a crook near the end—to draw the sheep close when they began to wander, and He lifts them out of the crevices where they might fall.
The rod, much shorter than the staff, protects the sheep from any thing that might try to attack the flock.
So born again sheep of the Lord are protected by Him night and day.
God Walks The Dark Hills
______________________________
God walks the dark hills, — The ways, the by ways — He walks through the billows — Of life's troubled sea. — He walks through the cold dark night, — The shadows of midnight. — God walks the dark hills — Just to guide you and me.
CHORUS:
God walks the dark hills — To guide my footsteps. — He walks everywhere — By night and by day. — He walks in the silence — On down the highway. — God walks the dark hills — To show me the way.
God walks in the storm, — The rain, and the sunshine. — He walks on the billows — On through glimmering light. — Helps us walk up the mountain so high — Cross our rivers, through valleys — God walks the dark hills — 'Cause he loves you and me.
