In the Valley

Psalm 84 speaks of walking through the "valley of weeping." Like the "valley of the shadow of death" (Psalm 23), I have often that as if I lived in those valleys. Yet there is a simple truth about those valleys in my life. It is that wherever I am walking (or residing) in my "valley of weeping," I am still a person who loves to spend time with God. And I see that those times are really opportunities to experience God's faithfulness all over again. They are, even when I'm not a aware of it, some of the most blessed times in my life.
