Psalm 23:4–6: God With Us in the Valley
Psalm 23:4–6 turns reassurance away from the absence of danger and toward the presence of God. David walks through the valley, not around it, and still speaks of comfort, provision, and a dwelling that lasts forever.
God of All Comfort: 2 Corinthians 1:3–7
Paul does not promise that grief will lift quickly. He names God as the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who meets his people in real affliction and then sends that same comfort through them to others.
