When You Are In The Valley Of Darkness

When you are in the valley of darkness ~ The foundation of God's word for this theme of our meditation, is taken from the book of Psalms. Thus says the Lord: “He brought them out of darkness and gloom, and broke their bonds” - Psalm 107:14. The valley is a basin between two mountains. The place is so deep and away from sunlight that it is dark and damp. Locations that are difficult to reach make it even more exciting. Sometimes this valley is used as a lair for criminals. Therefore, passing through the valley was very dangerous. The Bible calls this valley the “Valley of Darkness” or “Valley of the Shadow of Death” because many people are afraid to go through it.

The Psalmist writes about the bitter experience in the Valley of Darkness. All he felt was fatigue, worry, and fear. All efforts to get out of the valley seemed in vain and there was no help. What can you do The psalmist expresses the feelings of his heart. He will endure and continue to seek God's help! he cried out to God. And the psalmist was saved by God four times from all the sufferings of life. At the right time, he found a way out and won. God himself reached out and rescued him from darkness and gloom, even the bonds he had broken (v. 15). 14). At some point, God may allow us to be in the Valley of Shadows. When that shocking moment comes, remember that it doesn't mean that God is unfair to us. Through the "dark valley" that we are taught to remember. Like the psalmist, let us not lose hope in God. Especially in the Valley of Darkness, God gives us the opportunity to feel how great His power is. Have a good day, keep the spirit and always rely on the Lord Jesus. May the Lord Jesus bless our life, family, work and ministry. Amen
