Scripture:
Psalm 23:4
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me”.
Observation:
Our lives here on earth are surrounded by such darkness and death, because sin inhabits the earth. Every single day, we are tempted in different or reoccurring ways that would further us from our relationship with God. This verse is a declaration that sin has no control over our lives. For God is with us, he will be there to guide us, to protect us, to strengthen us and to shelter us from the filth that surrounds us. He will bring forth His light, to illuminate the darkness.
Application:
I will no longer fear the sin, the filth, the darkness, and the death, which surrounds the entirety of my life. I must seek God to bring forth his light and his power in breaking the bonds and ties that sin has caused around my heart and mind. The breaking of walls can only be done through Him. For God is with me, who can be against? For nothing is impossible for Him!
Prayer:
Father, please forgive me for not seeking you first in times of darkness. I ask that your light may illuminate all situations in my life. I pray for your spirit to come over my life and release me from the bonds of sin, more specifically lust, greed, pride and disobedience. I pray that I may continue to trust in You and find my strength in You.
