what joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. when they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. the autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. they will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem… for the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. · Psalm 84:5-7,11
