You were made to live and establish your faith in the valley - when I take you to the mountain to see and experience my glory, it is for your encouragement and inspiration, but you’ll not be able to remain there. Spiritual selfishness can drive you to desire only those times on the mountain. Beware of living for the next spiritual high; discover me and all I have for you in the valley. Life is not about avoiding pain or crisis; it’s about appropriating my grace in every circumstance of life. Drink from my spring in the valley so that you can be my voice on the mountain. Faith lived out in the ordinary mundane days of life is the reality that speaks to others who have yet to discover me and my love

"Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them." - Mark 9:2

"As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each one appears before God in Zion." - Psalm 84:6-7

Son, when I take you to the mountain to see and experience my glory, it is for your encouragement and inspiration, but you’ll not be able to remain there. 

However, you were made to live and establish your faith in the valley. 

It was said of my son Joseph that he endured hardship “til the word of the Lord proved him true" - (Psalm 105:19). 

His extended time in the valley proved his faith to the world.

It was what gave him the authority to do what he did. 

Faith lived out in the ordinary mundane days of life is the reality that speaks to others who have yet to discover me and my love. 

Spiritual selfishness can drive you to desire only those times on the mountain. 

Life is not about avoiding pain or crisis; it’s about appropriating my grace in every circumstance of life. 

Beware of living for the next spiritual high; discover me and all I have for you in the valley. 

The work I do in you there will carry you through unstable times and give you a message for those around you. 

Drink from my spring in the valley so that you can be my voice on the mountain.

God On the Mountain - Lynda Randle 

lyrics

For the God on the mountain
Is still God in the valley
When things go wrong
He'll make them right
And the God of the good times
Is still God in the bad times
The God of the day
Is still God in the night

For the God on the mountain
Is still God in the valley
When things go wrong
He'll make them right
And the God of the good times
Is still God in the bad times
The God of the day
Is still God in the night

The God of the day
Is still God in the night

A teardrop on earth summons the King of Heaven - He enters them into the record He keeps on our lives

The Lord keeps our tears in His bottle - the day is coming when sorrow will be turned into joy and tears will be turned into laughter

Your Tears Have An Expiration Date - God will wipe away every tear
