The valley of Achor is a place of trouble and disturbance (Strong Concordance).

It was the place where Achan and his family were stoned to death because of their sins (Joshua 7).

This is not a place where God wants His people to be, but sometimes circumstances may cause you to wander into this troublesome valley.

If you find yourself in this place, rest assured that there is hope.

The Lord is with you even during trials and tribulations because He is a present help in the midst of trouble (Psalms 46:1).

Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me. (Isaiah 65:10 NKJV)

In spite of the fact that a terrible tragedy occurred at the Valley of Achor, it was also the place where God forgave and turned from His fierce anger.

Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day. (Joshua 7:26 NKJV)

Therefore, the Valley of Achor – that trying times in your life – is an opportunity to repent, receive God’s forgiveness and begin a new life.

My prayer today, is that if you are in this troublesome valley you will not despair or lose hope but will turn to God and allow Him to lead you into green pasture.

Blessing!

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
