"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me"
I had noticed at the beginning of last year and since that along with the
# 23's we were seeing, there was often a #4 with it, it is weekly if not daily sometimes that we see it. I couldn't figure out what the 4 stood for, so I looked it up on line and this bible verse came up.
I knew after reading this that this was the message we were given, but I was not sure if it was meant for us to know that Jesus and God were with Alec always, and to remind us and comfort us of this. Or if it was for us because we are in the darkest valley and have struggled with our faith and I am certain that the evil one wants us to lose our faith, but Jesus and God are reminding us that they are with us always comforting us, guarding us from Evil. I now believe it is for us and for Alec.
I am reading a book titled,"To Heaven and Back" by Mary C. Neal, she had a near death experience and visited Heaven and spoke with Jesus and Angels. She wrote that she had always thought the psalm 23:4 were for those close to death, but after losing her son, she now believes it is for the people grieving because the sadness and despair can prop open your heart and let evil enter.
She wrote exactly what I had been thinking and wondering about.
I think the reason we see 23:4 so often is to be a constant reminder that God is with us even when we doubt. I know Alec sent us this last year to bring comfort to us to know that he has always been cared for.
I will always remember (it was before I had Cass and Al), asking my
Nana (Silva), who had the strongest faith of anyone I've ever known, I said to her,
"Nana if there is a God, then why do all these bad things happen?",
I thought if God was so good and loving then he would not allow bad things to happen and I could not believe in a God that did not stop the bad from happening, it didn't make any sense to me.
She quickly and matter of factly replied,
"Oh Honey that is because the Devil is at work".
I can't say I understood it then, but I never forgot her words and later came to understand the truth to them.
