Shelter
Blessed is the person whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the roads to Zion!
Passing through the Valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.
They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion. (Ps. 84:6)
The valley of Baca is translated '“valley of weeping.”
When we trust in the Lord with our whole heart, even in the tough times, He brings us through to the other side, not only to experience life as usual. But, just like God can, He brings us to a place of joy.
This song merges Psalm 84 with passages from Psalm 91. The Lord is our refuge, our protector. Even when we go through trials and fiery circumstances, He is there surrounding us with His Presence.
We are truly blessed, no matter the situation!
