Ps 84:6: who passing through the Valley of Baca make a well.
“The rain travelers have been delighted to see the footprint of a man on a barren shore, & we love to see way marks of pilgrims while passing through a vale of tears”. Charles Spurgeon
The Bible is full of way marks of pilgrims who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to follow God. They have dug wells as reminders for followers that their God met them in the valley of weeping, and that it became a place of refreshing springs. I cannot tell you how many times that I have met personally or read a testimony of a life that dug a well & filled it with the hard aches they endured but how those “aches” became refreshing springs. Their footprint on the shore or dug well was a message of hope to me when I was traveling a difficult road. It gave me encouragement along with hope that my God would get me through the valley to the mountain top. Psalms 30:5: Weeping is only for the night but joy comes in the morning.
