This is what you do in hard times... You may not be in one today and maybe never! But if you are, here is your answer and feel free to share it with others!
"How wonderful are thy tents oh Lord of Hosts! My soul longs and even faints to be in your courts and my heart and my flesh cry out for the Living God. Sure, the sparrow found a family and the swift bird a nest for herself where she may lay her young. And it is your altar oh Lord of Hosts, my King and my God! (what safer place than the place of death to the Lord?) Blessed are they that are part of your family, they will be repeatedly bragging on you! Also the man whose strength is in his relationship with you is blessed. In his heart are the ways (turnpike, causeway, and staircase to extreme happiness) for them who, when they pass through the valley of Baca (weeping), turn this bad experience into an opportunity to learn! He is blessed with spiritual prosperity as your holy 'rain' fills the empty places in his life. These men move from resource to resource, ever learning and never fading in the power of the Lord! They will be graced into His presence for His glory!"
That is my version of Psalm 84:1-7 It is a true comfort for those of us who pass thru these "Valleys of BACA" or weeping... the difficult times! When we cite truth about who the Lord is in, our lives, Our hearts, and on our minds, we agree with Him and His Word about our situation instead of agreeing with the enemy, or even our best friends or pastors!
He and He alone is capable of turning our "Valleys of Baca" into a place of learning, infilling, faith, endurance, blessing and strength for whatever comes! Memorize it and quote it to yourself, the devil, and the Lord! He is mighty to save!
