"Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion" ~Ps 84:5-7~
Ever seen someone really strong? I mean, no matter what they face, they seem to fly right through it unharmed. That can be us. When our strength is in the Lord, we are on a pilgrimage. We are on adventures in this lifetime, each one a mission field for the Lord to work in us and through us to minister to other people. He allows us to face things, and to overcome them through His strength that all men may see His good works. As we pass through the valley, it suddenly becomes a spring of Living Water, where Christ can speak, and fill us, and comfort us. Blessings of peace and direction rain down. That's how Christians can go from strength to strength, skipping right over the weak pitfalls....in His strength. This pilgrimage has a higher destination... One day to leave this walk of life, and appear before God in Zion. Hallelujah!
