Summary

(Psalm 23:4-5) We learn the most about the Lord in the trials, necessities, and difficulties of life. If you’re going through a valley, praise God. He is teaching you something you wouldn’t learn any other way. Perhaps He is preparing you to help someone else through a difficult season. Take heart!
