Can God Turn My Valley into a Doorway?
There is a stunning verse in Hosea where God promises to turn the Valley of Achor into a door of hope.
Achor means trouble.
God says He will take your valley of trouble and make it a door, an entrance into something new.
He does not promise to remove the valley.
He promises to repurpose it.
Your hardest valley may become the doorway through which God leads you into your next season.
The strength you developed there.
The dependence you learned there.
The compassion you cultivated there.
All of it walks through the door with you.
Do not despise the valley.
It may be an entrance.
What might God be opening through the valley you are in today?
