They Comfort Me

Even 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. Psalm 23:4

The rod God uses against our enemies, to beat them away.

The staff God uses on us, to guide us, to change our direction, maybe even to get our attention? 

Anyway, it is a comfort to know that He is in control, He will protect us, but He will not neglect correcting us also. 

Thank You Heavenly Father.
