“Even though I walk through the valley of deep darkness, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.” Psalm 23:4

In times of need, David goes with God on “you”. He realizes: God is there.

When we come to the limit of understanding, the path of trust in God begins. God presents Moses himself as the one who is (Exodus 3:14). He is present yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

It is a mystery that we draw closer to God in times of need. Job confessed at the lowest point in his life: “Now my eyes have seen you” (Job 42:5). Suddenly we experience how God carries us through and how he holds us.

When everything is getting dark, it helps to be close to the one who knows the way.
