Psalms 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.

So why are you afraid? There's no need to fear, God is with you. Walk through the valley of the shadow of death with courage. Know for certain that the Lord is right with you. With His rod and staff He's protecting you. Did I tell you enough, that God is with you?
Psalms 23:5
Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

What a buffet the Lord prepares! It's not in Heaven either, but right here on planet Earth where you need it. Your enemies will see it, too. The enemy will behold your blessings. The Lord places His anointing on your head for success. To top it off, your cup is overflowing with plenty. That's God. He's more than enough.
Psalms 23:6

You have to know definitely that God is good. Every where you go, goodness is following you. Mercy is right there, too. You might think you don't desire it, but God decided to be with you always, even until the very end. So be determined to dwell, live, and abide with Him for the rest of your life.
