As We Go Through

Greetings to all, we have made it to this "hump" day Wednesday, and I pray that we all have felt the Lord's comfort for any sorrow, pain, or suffering we may have experienced getting here.

While traveling this Christian pilgrimage, we will go through many valley experiences. The valley represents a place of suffering and pain that we can unexpectedly find ourselves. Without God in our lives, the view from the valley can appear to have no end or way out. However, when we trust the Lord, He gives us the strength to go through the valley.

Psalm 84:5–7 (GW)

5 Blessed are those who find strength in you. Their hearts are on the road ⌊that leads to you⌋.

6 As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow, they make it a place of springs. The early rains cover it with blessings.

7 Their strength grows as they go along until they appear in front of God in Zion.

Lesson: We may weep as we go through our valleys, but when we keep our focus on the Lord, not only do we grow stronger and stronger, we are also blessed.
