We discover an intimacy and the sense of quietness he says that he will lead us into places

of rest in the deepest, darkest, blackest moment of your valley experience.

There can be the most overwhelming, indescribable sense of peace and rest and quietness and

confidence that only hand in hand with the Son of God could you ever experience.

God is always with us, whether we realize it or not.

Welcome to In Touch the Teaching Ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

In our greatest triumphs and our darkest moments, the Lord never abandons us.

You may feel alone, but the truth is you never are.

Stay with us for one of Dr. Stanley's most enduring messages based on the familiar words

of Psalm 23 and find the strength to thrive even in life's valley experiences.

Often times in the Bible, valleys are indications or symbols of times of difficulty, hardship,

trial, suffering, and pain.

And I want us to look at this passage in the light of that title and that is the believers

of valley experiences.

And if you'll notice in this passage how he begins, he says, the Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

And then what we have is this beautiful description of the shepherd leading the sheep into the

matters on the hillside.

He says, he makes me the loud-own in green pastures, leads me beside quiet waters, restores

my soul, guides me in the paths of righteousness, and then notice verse 4, how he says it,

he says, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, even though I do

that, which is his way of saying it's not the norm.
