The Valley of Blessing
January 16, 2017
If calamity comes . . . [we] will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us.
2 Chronicles 20:9
French artist Henri Matisse felt his work in the last years of his life best represented him. During that time he experimented with a new style, creating colorful, large-scale pictures with paper instead of paint. He decorated the walls of his room with these bright images. This was important to him because he had been diagnosed with cancer and was often confined to his bed.
Becoming ill, losing a job, or enduring heartbreak are examples of what some call being in the valley, where dread overshadows everything else. The people of Judah experienced this when they heard an invading army was approaching (2 Chron. 20:23). Their king prayed, If calamity comes . . . [we] will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us (v. 9). God responded, Go out to face [your enemies] tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you (v. 17).
When Judahs army arrived at the battlefield, their enemies had already destroyed each other. Gods people spent three days collecting the abandoned equipment, clothing, and valuables. Before leaving, they assembled to praise God and named the place The Valley of Berakah, which means blessing.
God walks with us through the lowest points in our lives. He can make it possible to discover blessings in the valleys.
Dear God, help me not to be afraid when I encounter difficulty. Help me to believe that Your goodness and love will follow me.
Looking for hope in the middle of difficult circumstances? Read Hope: Choosing Faith Instead of Fear at discoveryseries.org/q0733.
God is the master of turning burdens into blessings.

Hi Kathy in Alaska, how are you?
Admiral Denton is one of my personal heroes. His book “When Hell Was in Session” is gripping, inspirational, and informative.

Denton was a genuine hero, unlike the phony one, McCain.

Hai! Got home in time for the Cowboy/GB game. I’m home until Wednesday when I go on the clock waiting for a call out. At least I’ll be home; beats sitting in Denver crew area.

I love those temperatures. Know why?
When they first hit, those crisp, crackling low temperatures make me feel alive. Then, when the novelty wears off, it makes me understand just how much I am going to enjoy April!
(Note-this is only when I don’t have to spend mandatory time outside in it! I’m not crazy, you know!)
