| Psalm 23 — Part 7 |
| “I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me” (Psalm 23:4). |
| It is the conscious sense of the Lord’s presence with us that drives away all fear. We are passing through a dark world (morally and spiritually), and we have a powerful enemy, called Satan or the Devil. But we need not fear. Our Lord says, “Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God” (Isaiah 43:1-3). |
| When the disciples first saw the Lord walking on the water towards them they did not realize who He was. As a result, “they were troubled … and they cried out for fear” (Matthew 14:26). However, He immediately identified Himself by saying, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid” (verse 27). |
| Like David, the disciples, and many others, we can have an inner peace and calm as we walk in company with our Great Shepherd, and follow closely by His side. |
