0235. THE VALLEY OF WEEPING.

THE VALLEY OF WEEPING.

"Passing through the Valley of Baca (i.e., weeping), make it a well"

Psa_84:6

Where?

No one knows where this Valley of Baca was.

Baca means weeping, thus it stands for this world.

What weeping there is in this world!

Not all weeping, of course, for there is much joy.

But at times we are impressed with the very great sorrows of the world.

Only "Passing Through."

1. Thank God we are not abiding here.

2. "Who passing through."

3. Cheer up, sufferer, pain and sorrow won’t last for ever.

The Effect of their Presence whilst Passing Through.

1. If they had to pass through a valley of weeping they did not leave it as they found it.

2. They make it a well.

3. Water is very precious in the East, and he who provides a well is a public benefactor.

What this Means.

1. A well means refreshment.

2. A well leads to rejoicing.

3. A well means habitation-people will settle there.

But Who Works such Wonders?

1. They who love God’s House (Psa_84:4).

2. They who receive strength from God (Psa_84:5).

3. They who have hearts right (Psa_84:5).
