Growing from strength to strength

Pauline Matanda

“BLESSED are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.

“They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.” — Psalm 84:5-7

We thank God for the gift of life.

He has taken us through from January up to now, September — the ninth month of the year. Nine months is the average length of human gestation, meaning it is a long enough time.

Let us continue walking by faith. May your faith grow stronger and stronger.

This is the month to receive new strength — rejuvenation. You will need it for the remainder of the year.

Draw your strength from the Lord; lean on His spirit.

You might be in the valley of weeping but you are not there to stay. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Joy is knocking on your door and your joy is being renewed.
