Security In A Threatening World (3 of 5)

Psalm 23
October 7, 2001
Long ago the Psalmist David wrote these words (Read Psalm 23). Notice especially verse four "ye 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." The greatest thing on the minds of many Americans this morning is how can we be secure? How can we be safe?

Today we are very near to some kind of military action in Afghanistan.

People who have to go from place to place wonder are the airlines really safe. Can they really keep me secure? People wondering about the possibility about a nuclear attack because we know the resolve and the mindset of the terrorists is that if he would have had a nuclear weapon instead of just a 757 on September 11 he would have used a nuclear weapon. If he could have killed not just 7,000 but 70,000 or 700,000 that's exactly what he would have done. Truly we can say today we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Many people literally walk through that valley as they bury their loved ones, as they attend funeral after funeral after funeral in New York City. What do we do when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death? David said, "I will fear no evil for thou art wi ...
