Valley of Baca--Precious Recompense

Precious Recompense
(Part 3 of Three)

So, my friends walk through your “Valley of Baca” with a calm assurance. Our great God of the universe, Redeemer of Israel, walks by your side. No matter the trial, maintain a heart set on chasing after the Father. In everything you do, remember the words of David in Psalms 30: 4-5.

“Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

Take heart my friends. That light at the end of the tunnel is not the five-o’clock freight. It’s the blessed, providence of His “ever-presence”. We know that light is His love shinning before us in this dark world because of these living testimonies. We also have the precious promise of a cessation of the seemingly endless cycle of valley to mountaintop to valley.

Isaiah says in 65: 17-19, “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth. And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind…for behold I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, and her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, nor the voice of crying”.

In progression from cradle to grave, our loving Messiah, Yeshua, promised through Isaiah in 61: 1-3 to send peace and healing to the poor and broken hearted. He proclaimed liberty to the captives and broke the chains of those bound in their own personal prisons.

He proclaimed His glory and promised vengeance on our enemies. He bestowed His blessed comfort and consolation on all those of His in their “Valley of Baca”. He gave “beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning”. He put upon our hearts the “garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness”. In all of this, He called us “trees of righteousness”, HIS planting and for HIS glory.

Then, our gracious and merciful Messiah spoke personally in John 16: 20 saying, “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy”.

Then, when all of the ups and downs of this life are over, He promised through the Revelator for the “sealed of Israel” in Revelation 7: 17, “For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away all tears”.

Then, the Revelator said of the “Lamb of promise” in 21: 4, “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away”. In all of this, I enable you to be exponentially encouraged in His blessed, comforting peace (Shalom)!!
