“No pressure, no diamonds.” – Thomas Carlyle

From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual” by Arnold Kunst

Scripture, wherever you look, always comforts, always challenges. Take the following: “What though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil.” The bad news is that there’s a lot of stuff to fear. The good news is that the “fear no evil” part is so categorical. The bad news is the death part. The good news is that it’s only the shadow of death and there’s literally nothing in a shadow. The bad news is there’s no view and precious little perspective in a valley. The good news is that none of it makes any difference because He’s the Shepherd and He’s got it ALL covered.
