This is another meditation from Gene.


Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no evil.             Psalm 23

Have you walked through the Valley of Death?  Many have been there and survived.  Few choose to talk about it.  The Valley of Death can be a fearsome place.  Death casts a frightening shadow over us because we are entirely helpless in its presence.  We can struggle with other enemies - pain, suffering, disease, injury - but strength and courage cannot overcome death.  It has the final word.  When we take that final walk only one person can walk with us and bring us safely to the other side - The God of Life.  Life is uncertain and it behooves us to place our hand in His and trust in His strength to bring us safely to the other side.

As we travel the pathway of our life, each day brings us nearer to the Valley.  Each day of our life offers choices of right and wrong.  Strength of character allows us to make good choices.  When we make a bad choice it makes it easier to make bad choices in our days ahead.  Right and wrong choices are equal to Life and Death.
