Sometimes we find ourselves in circumstances we wish, hope, praise, pray and fast they go away, somehow – by the word or wand! I just had one of those moments now and when I calmed down, the word came.
Concerning Jesus, scripture says:
He had to go through Samaria on the way. John 4:4
On your way to destiny, there are places and things you must go through; encounters which are crucial and peculiar to your purpose. It might be painful but it’s needful.
David in one of his psalms said:
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.. Psalm 23:4
It might seem dark and cold and there is no warmth, way up or out. Perhaps you can hardly breathe and wondering if there’d be life after THIS. Yes, there is! Don’t give up, just keep going. Inhale. Exhale.
In another place, the sons of Korah said:
When they walk through the Valley of Baca (Weeping), it will become a place of refreshing springs. Psalm 84:6
‘Through’ seems to be a recurring theme in the texts and is indicative of the fact that whatever you are currently dealing with is temporary, this too shall pass, you are simply in transition, going through, and soon will be out on the other side – your place of rest.
Your challenges are your building blocks and unique selling point. The very things that are trying to break you are the things that will MAKE you. Your valley will become a mountain – an elevated and refreshing place. Your weeping will turn into singing. A change is coming but in the meantime, just know IT is necessary.
Be encouraged.
