Monday and "The shadow proves the sunshine"

Well the new Switchfoot CD is out. The name is "Nothing is sound". I suggest you all go out and by this CD. The song "The shadow proves the sunshine" in the CD really stuck out to me today. You know we all have those days that we think the world is caving in on us. This song allows us to look at the Psalm 23 in a different view. We so often look as this as the death and grave Psalm.

¹The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
²He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
³He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
⁴Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,*
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
⁵You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
⁶Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

I notice it says shadow. It's doesn't say we are walking in death. But in the shadow of it. Praise God that the SON shines and although death is certain ...eternal death is not. Christ died so that we might live with him eternally. So as you have one of those days that you think the world is caving in. Just realize you may be walking through a shadowed valley. But the shadow proved that the son is there.
