Psalm 84: 5-7
Happy are the people whose strength
is in You,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley
of Baca,
they make it a sources
of springwater,
even the autumn rain will cover it
with blessings.
They go from strength to strength
each appears before God in Zion.
Through the Valleys
How our soul is soaked
in the Valley of Tears (Baca)
where we walk
no matter how much we have trusted in the Lord.
For God's promise is not to remove the valleys,
but that we shall pass through them.
Blessed is a state of life in the Lord's eyes
that doesn't shield from sorrow or pain,
And in the middle of our walk
His loving hands
gives us springs of hope
in the middle of its desert.
Grace brings cool autumn's refreshing
as provision to immerse the spirit
within the waters of His love.
Knowing how the steps of faith
bring the destination before His throne.
For a while, the storms blind our eyes
unto His presence
until we think wonder how
we can endure another test of our hearts.
Be silent and listen
as His winds of mercy come,
never enough to end our suffering
or explain every tear drop,
but to grant us the strength of trust
to reach the next oasis of calm.
