Yea, Though I Walk Through The Valley

There are comparatively few mountain top experiences in the life of the believer.

Instead, much of life is spent in the valleys.

It is in the valleys where God lets us experience difficulties and hardships.  And in those difficulties we find out what we are really like.

We find out how sinful we really are and of our great need for a redeemer.

While we may be surprised by our sin, God is not.

God opens our eyes to our sin and uses it to teach us more about ourselves and of our great need for humility, grace, and repentance.

“The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope,” writes author and pastor Timothy Keller.

After traveling through a particularly deep valley, God may lead us to a mountaintop. It is a time for refreshment and enjoyment. But God is too kind to leave us there for long.  We have another valley to traverse, and He has more to show us about our hearts.
