Kate Violet reflects on Psalm 23, arguing that God's promise isn't to keep you out of hardship but to walk with you through it. The scripture doesn't offer a pass on suffering, only presence in the valleys of pain, loss, and confusion.
In Psalm 23, it doesn't say that God will keep you out of the valley. It doesn't say that you will never go through hard seasons. It says that he is going to walk through the valley with you. That is a huge difference. A lot of people are praying to God to take the pain away, to skip the hard part, to fast forward us past the struggle. But that was never the promise. The promise was simple: you will not walk through it alone. The valley was always part of the story. The heartbreak, the loss, the confusions. Seasons where you cannot see the next step. We all go through it. Nobody gets a pass. But here is the good news: you are not walking through it by yourself. God is right there with you. Every step, every tear, every quiet night when nothing makes sense. The goal was never to avoid the valley. The goal is to know that you are not going through it alone.
Sometimes a closed door is not rejection, it is redirection. #business #growth #rapidgrowth
