Day 16

Today is day 16 of our 21 day journey to aquiring a good habit. My habit is meditation on the Word of God & creating a journal page around that word. I'm tracking with this 21 day challenge with Rhonna Farrer on 2Ps. There is a group of us on this journey, each with a different goal to establish or break a habit in 21 days! Today's quote from Rhonna is;

"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." by Joseph Campbell.

21 Day Challenge, Day 17
Diligence

Rhonna's Quote inspired me to think about the challenges in my life & how I respond to them. The scripture that came alive to me is Psalm 84:5-7. It talks about the valley of baca. It is a low place of sufferring & weeping & certainly CHALLENGE! The one who makes God his strength makes the valley of baca a place of springs & pools; meaning refreshing, life & growth. I want to be this kind of person. One who does not despise the sufferring & difficult places in life...but takes on the challenges in the strength of the Lord & finds new life in them! This Psalm is overlaid in white on the journal page below. The quote & artwork on the right are Rhonna's. She shares one a day on this 21 day challenge! It is hard to read the script, so the Psalm reads;

Psalm 84:5-7
5. How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion!6. Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring ; The early rain also covers it with blessings.7. They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
