Valleys of Blessing


Reading: Philippians 4:6-7


Devotional: The place where enemies intended to destroy Israel became "the Valley of Blessing." The very spot marked for their annihilation became the site of their greatest provision—so much blessing it took four days to collect it all. This is God's pattern: He transforms intended destruction into divine blessing. Your current struggle may be the very place where God is preparing your greatest testimony. The valley that feels like it will break you might become the valley that makes you. Paul understood this when he wrote, "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything." Let your prayers and praise reshape your perspective. When Christ displaces worry at the center of your life, God's peace—which transcends understanding—guards your heart. Today, look back at how many times God has already shown up for you. He didn't bring you this far to let you drown now. Your valley of struggle is becoming your valley of blessing.
