"...through the valley of the shadow of death..."

Psalm 23:4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.

I have been fighting this battle, through Christ who is my strength, for over 6 months. Every pathology report up to this point has been negative from the original biopsy to the surgical report after the mastectomy.

But, God.  As I started the second round of chemo, the doctors sent me in for a PET scan.  I got the report a few days later.  They couldn't find any cancer anywhere in my body! 

The doctor reporting, who was suppose to be impartial, but I felt, there was some enthusiasm in that report.  He Stated - NO CANCER FOUND!

So as I declared in the beginning, but more importantly as God promised - I will not die but live....

Psalm 118:17 I shall not die but live, and shall declare the works and recount the illustrious acts of the Lord.

 I was only close to the shadow of death, not death itself, just the shadow.  Praise God, be encouraged.

Psalm 23  (AMP)


A Psalm of David.
 1THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.     2He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.(A)
    3He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.
    4Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
    5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with [a]oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
    6Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.
