=JOURNEYING WITH GOD=
Psalm 84: 5-7 (NKJV)
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on
pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place
of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools 7 They go from
strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
We spent time with this one yesterday and established that blessed (happy,
empowered to prosper) is the person that sets their hearts on pilgrimage or
journeying, especially those whose heart is set on a continual journeying
with the Lord Jesus. Every Journey especially a life-long one (remember we
journey till we stand before Him in Zion) will experience different seasons,
some fun some not so much fun some happy and some sad, every real life
journey has all of these moments and so many more.
This verse then says a strange statement that caught my attention "as they
pass through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs" I wondered
where Baca was and after a short search discovered that no one really knows
where this valley was but most live by the interpretation rather than a
physical place, its most common interpretation is "valley of weeping". We
all at one time or another on our pilgrimage will go through valleys or
"times of weeping" but God promises as we journey (stay) with Him through
these seasons He will cause them to be places of refreshing springs.
When you walk daily with Jesus he causes life and joy to break out in the
saddest or seemingly driest places, he causes rivers to flow in what are the
dessert times of our life. He does not call us to avoid or by-pass these
valleys but walks with us through them remember He promised "I will never
leave you of forsake you" He is not a "good time God" only there for the
good bits rather he remains a good God in all the seasons we experience on
this pilgrimage called life. Remember David in Psalm 23 said "though I walk
through the valley" He included valleys in His great pilgrimage with God
Psalm, because he knew we all go through them!
If you are in a valley today remember champion you are not alone He is with
you and will turn that place to into a place of springs, if you are not in a
valley remember it for the next time you find yourself going into or through
one. It says when they (those on pilgrimage) pass through these valleys they
make them places of springs remember Christianity is not just about Jesus
doing in our lives but us doing in other people's too, when we find someone
in a valley of weeping let's make sure that we allow Christ in us and Christ
through us make their presently tough experience a place of springs, knowing
you should make their tough times better not worse!
He is the God that causes springs to flow in dry places with us, in us and
through us!
God Bless
