There are lots of walking tracks here in New Zealand. I walked a short one only last Tuesday in Mangonui.
Five women from the capital (Auckland) went on a long walk on Saturday here in the north of New Zealand. They were on a bush walk in the Mangamukas. But the walk was too much for them. They had to ask for help and be rescued. New Zealand is a very treacherous country, even for the Kiwis. (People who live here.)
For all of us the walk “through the darkest valley ” is coming sooner or later. The question is: “ARE WE PREPARED?”
Can we say with David:
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”
