God of the Valleys

What a great song! Maybe you’re walking through a valley today, or maybe you’re on top of a mountain. The truth is, life is full of mountain top experiences + valleys too! 

This morning I was reading in my Bible from the book of 1st kings 20:28; 

Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I [am] the LORD.’ ”

The Lord is SO good + faithful to us even when our faith in Him is small and wavering. 

I remember being driven back to the place where my friend Jennifer and I were staying in Africa after a 15 hour day. We had gone on a one day safari. It was late at night. Not everyone had headlights or well maintained vehicles. It was scary, but we had a good driver! This very song came into my mind + heart as we prayerfully made our way back home! The next day, we heard on the news that a tanker truck’s breaks failed + there was a multi car pile up + a flammable explosion!! 

Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) 

Put your trust in HIM today, for He is faithful who promised! 

Hebrews 10:23; “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

Are you looking for the light?

Image
Psalms 119:130; The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. John 8:12; Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 1 John 1:5; This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:7; But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Choices

Image
In a world of darkness, I choose the light.  In a world of evil, I choose the good.  In times of sorrow, I choose joy.  When Satan deceives me, I choose the truth. When fears arise, I choose the Father’s peace. When religion knocks at my door, I choose a relationship with my Creator, through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the forgiveness of my sin. When doubts arise, I choose to believe.  What or whom do you choose today?  “Today, if you will hear His (Jesus) voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” -Hebrews 3:7, 8
