When we make God our strength, we can name our bitter tears (the Valley of Baka). The tears spring up and collect into pools of refreshment. We are blessed when we pass through this Valley because here we discover that His strength is enough! Listen to the song, “Blessings” by Laura Story and know that “this is not our home”! – Teresa #recognizingHome

Psalm 84: 5-7 (NIV)

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,

  whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,

  they make it a place of springs;

  the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

7 They go from strength to strength,

  till each appears before God in Zion.
