SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

October 14

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 23:4-6

Don't mistake the valley for your final destination; God is still leading you somewhere. In Psalm 23:4–6 (KJV), David discovers that God's presence brings courage in dark valleys, provision before enemies, and goodness that follows him. Engaging In The Holy means trusting God's presence enough to keep walking, even when the road feels threatening. Living High And Lifted Up means refusing to let the valley define your vision or determine your future. Our Black communities have walked through many valleys, but our inheritance is also one of faith, dignity, abundance, and the power to build a better tomorrow. Dream Big, because God can prepare a table of possibility where others expected your defeat. Decide To Become fearless in the valley, and Demonstrate Your Power by walking forward with confidence and making room at the table for others.
