As they pass through the Valley of Baka... Psalm 84:6 NIV When we're in the valley, the valley of tears, we just want out. God fix this thing. Sort my problem. Restore my health, relationship, financial situation... get me that job... Get me out of this Valley. The Valley of Baka. The Valley of Tears. But the way here is "through". Through. And in his most famous Psalm David wrote this: Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me...even the valley of the shadow of death...we're not alone. Not alone in the Valley. Our God is with us Jesus knows all about the Valley of Tears, and will walk with us ... #tears #valleyoftears #through #inthistogether #psalms #psalm84 #with

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka... Psalm 84:5-6 NIV The Valley of Baka is also called the Valley of Tears, the Valley of Mourning. It's a place of loss. Grief. Hurt. The valley is a place of danger, where we're vulnerable to attack. A place where our vision is restricted. And the Baka tree has sap that runs down the outside so it looks like the tree is weeping. Crying. The Valley of Baka is the Valley of tears. In our journey, there's going to be times when we're in this Valley. Maybe that's you today, maybe that's someone you know. It's good to know people have been in this place before (David wrote this in  535BC) and that God knows the reality of that place for us. Sometimes we're in the Valley of Baka and can't see a way out. #psalms #psalm84 #tears #valleyoftears #reallife
