Lord, Why The Valley?

If you're going through a valley, remember that a journey has two points: a beginning and an ending. Don't get stuck in the valley and don't turn around. If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it.

The only way to get to your mountain-top experience is to go through your valley low. If you can't run, jog, if you can't jog, walk, if you can't walk, crawl, if you can't crawl call an Uber, but by any means necessary, don't set up camp in the valley. It is not your home and was never meant to be.

Don't let people or situations define your residence. Heaven is your goal, not a valley full of dry bones. While fretting over your valley, remember that God is leading you, and goodness and mercy are following you. Therefore, you're surrounded.

The next time you want to ask the Lord, why the valley, think about this book, think about what's on the other end of the valley, think about who's in control of your destiny, think about if you don't go, think about God's promise; then pick yourself up and go...In the words of Jenny ( in the movie - Forrest Gump), "Run, Forrest, Run."
