"Valley of Baca" means "Valley of Weeping" in the Bible, specifically mentioned in Psalm 84:6; the word "Baca" is Hebrew and translates to "weep", so the phrase signifies a difficult or sorrowful time in life, often used metaphorically to represent a period of hardship or grief one must pass through while still finding strength in God. Sometimes, we don’t understand why we are called to walk through the Valley of Baca and experience grief and pain. However, I believe that the God of comfort will be by our side, helping us in times of stress and pain, and leading us through the Valley of Baca so that we can experience His grace.
「流淚谷」在聖經中詩篇84:6中特別提到； “Baca”這個詞是希伯來語，意思是“哭泣”，所以這個用語指生活中困難或悲傷的時刻，通常用來比喻必須經歷的一段艱難或悲傷的時期，但仍然能在上帝那裡找到力量。有時，我們不明白為什麼我們要穿越流淚谷來經歷悲傷和痛苦。然而，我相信安慰之神會陪伴我們，在患難中做我們隨時的幫助，引領我們穿過流淚谷，讓我們經歷祂的恩典。
Psalms 84:5-7
Blessed are those whose
strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
詩篇: 84:5-7
靠你有力量、
心中想往錫安大道的，
這人便為有福！
他們經過流淚谷，
叫這谷變為泉源之地；
並有秋雨之福
蓋滿了全谷。
他們行走，力上加力，
各人到錫安朝見神。
