The Blossoms of Your Valley
Friday, June 23, 2023
Song of Solomon 6:11 says, “I went down into the garden… to see the blossoms of the valley.” Believers often tell you they’re in a valley and they’re unhappy about it. The valley is a low place. It can be hard times, times of sorrow, loss, weakness and not feeling God. But in Song of Solomon, it’s not a sad thing, it’s a beautiful thing. The valley can be a place of fruitfulness, one of the most fertile places, where the rain and waters flow. So in your life, the low times are often the most potentially fertile, the most potentially fruitful, and the most beautiful. Generally hard times produces the greatest change, repentance or decisions for God. Most believers came to the Lord in the valley. So why do we despise it, if so much more growth, repentance and joy will come from the valley? Don’t despise your valley. Go down, see the blossoms, the vine and the pomegranate. Look for the good fruit God wants to bring forth. In every hard time, you will find what God has being waiting for you, blossoms of the valley.
From Message #457 – Song of the Resurrection
Scripture: Psalm 31:14
TODAY’S MISSION – Remember that all your times are in His hands. Ask the Lord to show you the blossoms in your valley. And thank Him for them.

So each one of us needs to ask ourselves: “Do I really believe what I say I believe is really true?” Our answer is in our response to “hard times” that the Devil and his minions throw at us, in our walk, not our talk! It is a process of growth that does not end until we step into His eternal kingdom, always remembering that His kingdom is within the spiritual battle here, a closing window of opportunity to give glory to God amidst the fight. Carpe Diem…
Recalling once again: “…We can’t lose because God can’t lose! Insofar as we believe that identity, we will love his will as we love our own. We will then fully embrace it and become holy!.” / “How to be Holy”, by Peter Kreeft.
