Psalm 84 assumes that on this highway to Heaven, we will pass through the Valley of Baka. The Valley of Weeping. Yes, it happens to us all. But when our hearts are set on Jesus, when we live in His Strength, something wonderful happens in the middle of the tears. “Somebody told me about the joy they had;
Somebody told me that in sorrow they could be glad.
Then they told me they were bound but now they’re set free
But I didn’t think it could be till it happened to me!”
Thank you, Andrae Crouch, for this song. Who can explain the joy of the Lord? It just comes down.
