Mountain Tops and Valleys
Have you ever noticed that life is made up of times in which you live on the mountain top and other times down in the valley? Many of us dread those valley experiences when we feel as if our prayers only go to the ceiling and drop back into our laps. We look at where we are and don't like the place. We can see the mountain top and know that is place we desire, but climbing that hill seems like more than we can handle.
The Bible is full of stories of people who have gone through the valleys and mountaintops of life. People that were favored by God experienced the most difficult of times and yet God was always there guiding and leading.
How long we stay in the valley determines when we make it back up the mountain. Sometimes we have to make major changes in our life before we get there - changes that are uncertain and painful. I believe that God will give us what we need in our life journey so that we can get to the mountain top. We can let go of the fear and uncertainty of what is ahead if we know that God is leading.
My prayer today is that I will trust in God and let go of any fear or uncertainty I may have of my future. Amen.

My Dear Friend,
ReplyDeleteI was profoundly moved while reading this today. (July 25th 2013.)
I am utterly moved by the fact that two years ago, to the day, God used you to write the words I needed desperately to here today. God Bless You. And Thank You for blessing my life once again.
