Sometimes you never realise you’re in a valley – you (okay, me) gets so caught up in everyday life that all of a sudden when you feel like nothing makes sense, nothing is going right & that things are just getting too heavy to carry … that’s right, the realisation, you’re in the valley!
How on earth did I make a turn and get to the valley – it’s not that we necessarily made the wrong turn but could well be that we need to be in the valley to learn, grow and TRUST in HIM!
Maybe God wants us to take a risk – even in the valley, He will guide us through it. We HAVE TO REMEMBER – He’s already been this way before.
Ps 143 has great verses:
NLT
v1: “Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my plea! Answer me because you are faithful and righteous”.
v4-6: “I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear. I remember the days of old. I ponder all your great works and think about what you have done. I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.”
v7-8: “Come quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don’t turn away from me, or I will die. Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.
v10: “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.”
Verse 10 is the hope through the darkness ALWAYS!
The enemy is cunning in his ways to distract us, to get us off course but HE is greater than that which tries to misdirect us.
For me right now, the enemy is throwing illness – (and not just a cold) in my direction, and for some reason I am allowing him to put thoughts in my head of things going on in my world to distract me and get me off course from what God has set out for me.
No longer daily but hourly I need to seek the mind of Christ, the genius of the Spirit and the heart of the Father.
