Do not fear, for Jesus has redeemed us! (Isaiah 43:1) Let's be redeemed and have our minds renewed to the life our savior gives us. We can reign victorious over doubts and fears of our past. God is good, and He is not willing that any should perish. God is good, and He has made the light of His salvation shine upon us.
The devil is always lying to God's children. He instills a mistrust in God, lies about God's personality, and tells us we've fallen too far. He isn't fair; he's called the lawless one for good reason. I've found that we can know what's not The Truth if we identify thoughts and emotions that are sent in by the devil.
Often the enemy tries to make us believe we are beyond repair. If he has his way, he will make us think we are on our way to death. He tells lies and is the father of lies. He's also clever. Believers need to rise up behind the Word and fear not. We have spiritual weapons at our disposal, and these weapons are mighty for the pulling down of satan's illusions (2 Corinthians 10:4).
"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" Psalm 23:4
We walk through the valley of the shadow of death. This is not the valley of death, or else the verse would be worded as such. We walk along a path of God's truth and Satan's illusion. As believers, we belong to the One who overcame death! As a result, for us death is yet another lie of the enemy.
So, we walk along a valley where death impresses itself around us, but does not tangibly touch us. Glory to God for keeping us safe. We don't need to despise evil, we just need to identify it and rest in God to conquer. We can rest knowing the power of God goes before us. We can be comforted by the rode and the staff, by the Great Comforter, and we can have all our fears taken away. Praise Him, for the hedge of protection He's surrounded us with!
Confirmed: After I typed this, Vanessa opened the Word randomly to Isaiah 45:2. "...I will go before you, Cyrus, and level the mountain. I will smash down gates of bronze..."
Praise God for additional insights! From Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 45, we can see that God levels our mountains and has us walk through valleys instead. He smashes down "gates of bronze" and every high thing that points to itself(2 Corinthians 10:5). The path is made level for us! However, Satan will make us think we are on the wrong path, and tries to deter us with illusions that point to death. Wow. Thank you Lord for discernment and your faithfulness to protect.
