בְּרָכָה ____________________________________ Lord, how you fill these valleys of my heart like you did for Your children in the Valley of בְּרָכָה. . We need not fill them with empty words and desperate affirmations. . You say we do not need to fight, only to position ourselves, to stand, still and fearless, and to watch Your salvation. . What would have been certain death and defeat in the valley, You have turned into victory and blessing. . We live not in the grave, but in Your life, for You give true joy and true rest. . And between now and eternity, we will bless the Lord, until we enter Your בְּרָכָה, and then forevermore. . . — 2 Chronicles 20 ____________________________________ Full piece here: https://sunrequiem.wordpress.com/2019/11/14/berakhah/ .
