text:  Where is the shepherd when you're in the darkness? Now, I know he's everywhere. I know he's omnipresent. But in the purposes of this context, where is he? Is he behind you? No. Is he to the side of you? No. He's in front of you, leading you. You see, verse 4 tells us that he'll protect me. That's what that's all about. He'll walk me through the valley of deepest darkness. Some of you desperately needed to hear that this morning because it's never been this deep.
