"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion."
Psalm 84:5-7
A continuation from yesterday...
PIcture this with me.. On the heart are the highways to Zion.. and the inward desire to seek His face, and this inward desire is translated into outward actions of actually going before the Lord ! :)
A lot of times we tend to stop with just having the desires in our heart to read His word, to seek His face... but there is no translation into actions. The Psalmist says that as they (those whose strength is in Him, those in whose heart are the highways to Zion) go through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs...
Isnt that just so beautiful... In the journey of just seeking His face , drawing closer to Him that even valleys of dryness become a place of springs. But here is the best part.. we need to go through it... and He sends the early rain and covers it with pools... How amazing is that ! And guess what.. we now continue to go from strength to strength ! There is growth..
A lot of times when we face tough situations or circumstances we instinctively pray "God get me out of this" , but guess what we can also pray , "God transform this for Your glory"...
It doesnt matter how dry the valley may be.. just know this.. as long as we are walking with our hearts focussed on Him, and outwardly actions of drawing closer to Him (not just thinking God is the centre of our life but actually living a life where He truly is the centre of it all) even as we go through a valley not only will the valley be transformed to a place of springs but we will be found going from strength to strength
What a joy to love the Lord ! Such an honour to seek His face ! How powerful is His word. May He continue to transform us and may we continue to walk in complete surrender and obedience to Him
Have a wonderful blessed day
God Bless
