Psalm 23:4 Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, LORD, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.

Sheep grazing in Judea

God is the Shepherd! We are the Sheep!

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." We often look at the externals and as a result can form erroneous opinions.

1 Samuel 17:1-3 1 Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim. 2 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and camped in the valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array to encounter the Philistines. 3 The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.

1 Samuel 17:4-7 4 Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was clothed with scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze. 6 He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders. 7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; his shield-carrier also walked before him.

1 Samuel 17:8-9 8 He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, "Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me. 9 " If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us." This had been going on for 40 days!

David didn’t go to the valley to fight! Could he have ever imagined the events that would happen that day? 1 Sam 17:24 - When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were greatly afraid. 1 Sam 17:26 - For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?"

Remember… God is Great! God is All Powerful! We can’t tolerate our giants – we must KILL them! Can we see David’s absolute trust in God? David went through the dark shadows & because of God he was not afraid!

Got any more giants? 45 "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted. 46 "This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and He will give you into our hands." 1 Samuel 17:45-47

Too often we try to fight our own battles. We do it our way…try to outsmart our adversaries…and fail!

Life and death are about God Not self! Gal 5:24 - those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Gal 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Psalm 23:4 Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, LORD, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.

There are lions; they’re hiding; and they seek to destroy us! They hide in the shadows of  Materialism  Addiction  Selfishness  Arrogance  Godlessness When you follow evil’s forces; you are on your own; the lions will destroy you!

Can you say this? 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:4-6
