We’ve been working our way through the 23^rd Psalm, and this Sunday, we’re moving out of the darkest valley into the feast. Both Psalm 23:5 and Isaiah 25:6-9 describe the benefits of letting Jesus be our Shepherd. Much of scripture was written during times when starvation was a common condition of life and a weapon of war. That’s one reason the Kingdom of Heaven is often described as a feast. Isaiah even describes the Lord providing a feast for the whole world! We don’t need to be afraid as we walk through those darkest valleys, because we know a party’s waiting on the other side, either in this life or the next!
