Through the Valley, Without Fear

Psalm 23:4
기원전 10~5세기
ORIGINAL
גַּם כִּי־אֵלֵךְ בְּגֵיא צַלְמָוֶת לֹא־אִירָא רָע
📜 THE VERSE

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no harm, for something walks with me.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

In the valley I am crossing now, what do I feel is walking beside me?

📝Reflection

What stands out is that the poet does not ask for the valley to be removed. He only says "though I walk through." Valleys never vanish from a life — not loss, not illness, not the frightening night. This song comforts not by erasing the valley but by keeping you from walking it alone. To feel no fear in the valley of shadow is not because the valley is shallow, but because you believe something walks beside you. Whatever the object of that trust, the composure it brings belongs to all of humankind.
