Job walked with Him

"Even 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

When we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we have two options. We can walk through it alone, because no one wants to go along on that ride. Or we can walk through it with God. Job could have listened to his wife when she said, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" (Job 2:10). Or his three friends who told him, "Hey your kids were living in sin, thats why they died… you must have sinned as well, just admit it." 

But in the social solitude Job stays faithful to God and did not sin. While the whole world that we know dies, and abandons us… I want to be like Job and continue to walk with God. Perhaps God wont always comfort me with His rod and His staff… But He will send me broken pots to scrape my wounds. "Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" (Job 2:10). 

Today, I will finish the book of Job, just as a reminder to myself that nothing in Uganda can shake me from my walk with the Lord, because He will be with me the entire time. "I will fear no evil."
