Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for you are at my side. Psalm 23:4
Two women stand accused of adultery. One was Susanna, a woman of virtue who was wrongfully accused for she refused to submit to the evil intentions of two lustful men. The other a guilty, unnamed woman who was brought to Jesus by the Pharisees to test Jesus on the law. Both were in danger of being stoned to death and most probably praying hard for their lives.
God heard and intervened. Susanna trusted God wholeheartedly and God used Daniel to expose the wicked lies of her two accusers. While Jesus kept silent and merely reminded those present that only one who had not sinned should cast the first stone. When everyone left eventually, Jesus forgave the woman her sin and told her to sin no more.
The message is clear, trust in God and God alone. He is our Good Shepherd who will guide us and protect us from evil. Even when tragedy strikes, He will be there with us, and will help us to overcome our sorrows. Continue to put your hope in Him, stay away from sin, and call on Him unceasingly in times of trouble.
