Blessing For TodaySample

Valley of Baca 

In one of his speeches, when the constitution of India was formed, Mahatma Gandhi said, “I want the tears of every Indian to be wiped away. That is my main aim. Write the constitution accordingly.” If a man loves to see all tears wiped away from every Indian citizen’s face, how much more will God think of you. 

Today’s Bible portion on Psalm 84 is about pilgrims from various places travelling towards Zion. On the way, they have to cross this valley of Baca. It was a barren valley with no water through which they had to pass, to reach Jerusalem. Even in that wilderness, they did not lose their courage and faith. They acquired strength from God. Their faith turned the valley into a place of springs. God refreshed them with showers of blessing from above as rains drenched the dry plains, and lush green grass and colorful flowers grew and covered the valley. 

Today, you may cross through the valley of tears but you will see springs of life gush forth. Tears are temporary. Your help comes from above. You will be drenched with blessings from God. 

Prayer

“Loving heavenly Father, I bring my valley of tears before you. There seems to be no hope of seeing life in this phase of my life. But, my strength is in You. I pray that I will be drenched with blessings. May your words rain down to bring life into my being. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” 

‘Our help comes from above’
