MAKE THE VALLEY SING
As they pass through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. Psalm 84:6
Our verse today, follows after our verse yesterday. It is the result we receive when we prepare for the year. Those who set their hearts on pilgrimage; or face life prepared, are able to turn situations around to their advantage.
They pass through the valley of Baca. The valley of Baca was a dry and waterless place on the road to Jerusalem. It also symbolised weeping. As people made the pilgrimage to the house of God, they went through the valley of Baca – the place of dryness and weeping. Yet, because they had set their hearts on pilgrimage and prepared their hearts, the valley of Baca could not depress them. Instead of depression, the valley of Baca becomes a spring to them. They experience God’s rain.
That is how our year will be. Where others weep, we will experience God’s rain in the valley of Baca. Not only will we experience God’s rain, He will create pools for us in the valley of Baca.
As we set our hearts on the Lord and the journey ahead of us, He also sets His heart on us. He sets His heart on us to water our dry places. The distance of the journey will not change but the presence of the Lord will renew our strength and cause us to flourish. The Lord will cause us to blossom in the place where others are weeping.
Prayer: Lord, I thank You that You will cause Your rain to fall on every dry path in my walk this year.
Scriptural Reading: Psalm 84:5-7
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion.
NKJV
