Bible Discussion Thread

im reading over the comments and i find them very interesting. ive seen it in films but i just read it myself tonight and from what i saw and pictured in my head is a bit different. i didnt see the rod and staff as a metaphorical thing, i see it as an actual rod and staff that you carry with you on a long and hard journey, like hikeing through the bush with a solid stick or branch, to help you along, feel for holes and other dangers that might surround you, it compforts you and helps you to feel more relaxed.
the great thing about reading your comments is it helped me to understand, as rediculous as it may sound i always thought you had to be dieing in order to say this prayer or faceing your demons, i didnt think of it "the valley" as a problem that you may have in your life, this brings compfort.thank you
