"Valleytime"
I have been going through a time of doubting and wondering why God allows certain things to happen. I have been in “Valley time”. No one likes Valleytime. Everyone fears it, but God uses it to grow us up, to mold us, to strengthen us, to move us toward being all He designed us to be. When you think about it, nothing grows on the mountain top! Things grow best in the valley! What we sometimes forget is that God is everywhere-He is even there in the “valley time”, even when it is “the valley of the shadow of death” talked about in Psalm 23. We can trust Him to walk through the valley with us. We sometimes wish He would remove us from “valley time”, but when He doesn’t, it is because he knows our frame and He knows our hearts and he knows what is best for our growth-He is always thinking about our growth as His objective is always to make us more like Jesus! I am discovering that even in “valley time”, I can trust Him to be there and to see me through. You can, too, so take heart, my fellow “valley time” traveler!
