The Shadow

As I read my Daily Hope devotional which talked about walking through the Valley of the Shadow and looking to the Light, I was inspired to write the following.

 

The Shadow

 

Should I walk through the shadow of death,

There is still breath,

And I will not fear,

For God is there to steer.

Should I walk through the shadow of debt,

I can overcome the threat.

Through the shadow of conflict,

I will stand strong and not be licked.

In the shadow of depression,

There is still intercession.

When I walk through the shadow of dismay,

I will overcome when I pray.

In the shadow of what is unclear,

I know Jesus stands near.

Should I see a shadow looming

I know it is not all-consuming.

A shadow can disappear from my sight

When I look to the Light,

For He says, “Do not fear,

For I am near.”
