Day 16 - Do Not Fear!  God's Word of Hope for Every Day!

Today's Do Not Fear verse from the psalms comes to us from Psalm 23!  Here is Psalm 23 in the familiar King James version:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

It's such a familiar, wonderful psalm, and let's get some insights into some of the meaning behind "fearing not" in the valley of the shadow of death.  Here's the video:

And here's a wonderful version of Psalm 23 (I am not alone) from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.  And again, there are words to sing along!
