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...
They go from strength to strength.
Psalm 84. 5-7
(Not our own strength,
but His.
God builds up His strength in us,
by layers and degrees,
day by day,
by difficulty, resistance
and circumstances,
lest we think it is our own doing.
For not in just what we encounter
but how we navigate,
we point others to God.
No way we can endure without Him.
Others notice that.
As we approach and walk in
the dry and barren places
--our own personal Valley of Baca--
may we make it a place of sweet springs
of beauty and refreshment
in unexpected and impossible places.
What does it take to do that today?)
O LORD,
Empower us today
in whatever is before us
to move from strength to strength
by seeking You more
and loving others into Your arms.
Help us to see where we are
differently
because we walk with You.
Your Presence changes everything,
even our hearts.
