mountain top? You are feeling great, things are going your way...you're on the top of
the world. However, what happens when you are trudging along in the Valley of despair,
hurt, sorrow, discouragement? The Lord seems to be a million miles away doesn't He!
May I tell you something, it is when we are at our weakest that the power of God can be
seen the most clearly in our lives...if we are surrendered and seeking His guidance and
will! So why do we feel so separated from our Lord when we are going through the
tribulations of this life? It's because we are allowing our troubles to create a wedge
between us and God instead of letting them be the glue that bonds us tightly to our
Savior!
We are not meant to dwell in the valleys, we are to walk through them. We read this
in Psalms 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil: for Thou art with me: Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me."
Have you put down roots and are dwelling in the valley? We are to WALK THROUGH
them! We are not alone in our troubles, pain and sorrows, He walks with us! The
same God that we commune with on the mountain tops is our comfort and guide in
the valleys.
I encourage you to thank God for these valleys in your life. They are meant to draw us
nearer to our Savior, to purge us of the sins of this world, and to set our gaze upon our
eternal home. Remember that the God of the valley is the same God of the mountain, let
Him restore your soul today!
