PASSING THROUGH THE VALLEY

Believers are just passing through this life, bound for the promise land. One day we will walk out of this valley.

Psalm 84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

The word "Beca" means weeping or sorrow or tears. There have been and will be more valleys in our lives. If we keep our minds on our destination, it will help us to endure our tribulation.

Psalm 30:5 Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

JOB'S BECA: How do you like it on the ash heap? "Well, I don't like it that much, but I am just passing through. For I know my Redeemer liveth . . . . though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God."

Don't waste your sorrows in the valleys. Dig out a well of blessing. The apostle Paul dug some wells in his valley: Prison Epistles Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon.

This world is not my home, I'm just a passin' through.
