The Shadow of Death
Alicia Rae

‘Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.’ Psalms 23:4

Sometimes I think the shadow of death can mean the lies we believe. The untruths that lead our actions down paths of pain instead of comfort in Christ. The tangles our thoughts form when we try to figure things out on our own. Like the shadows of this tree.

I thank God for the areas of light this tree’s branches have caught. It’s what creates its beauty. These are like the areas we have allowed the Light of Christ to fall on and transform to reflect His glory. The areas we have allowed His truth to soak into.
