Simple Thoughts On Promises- 58

Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me. (Isaiah 65:10)

Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold wedge, his sons and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor. Joshua said, "Why have you brought this trouble on us? The LORD will bring trouble on you today." Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them. Over Achan they heaped up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day. Then the LORD turned from his fierce anger. Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor ever since. (Joshua 7:24-26)

In Israel, the name Achor means trouble. The Lord promised the Israelites that a place once called the Valley of Trouble could be changed by him into a resting place for the people who sought his face continually. Are you in The Valley of Achor? God can change it into a place which gives you true rest if you seek him diligently.
