In the Valleys I grow

Growth is the innovative , expectant ladder where the processes of seed and germination fuses to produce another seed bearing , fruit defining plant .The fertility of the soil in the valley is at its richest , ready to nurture any or all growth.High on the mountain , low in the valley , there is where my journey takes me.


Deuteronomy 11:11-12 "But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. It is a land the lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end."


In any time or place, the Christian will encounter mountains and valleys. They might not always be pleasant, but we need the mountains of life ,to remind us of the beauty of God . Mountains embrace the challenge of living and at the highest peak , we stand back and measure the awe of its beauty .Yet the valley is the lowest point , a point of uncertainty , a point of lowliness , a point of rock bottom and a point of how do I get up .

If I look at the many valleys in my life defined especially in the natural by the many tears , heartaches , hurts , trials and circumstances , I can safely conclude that God has perfect timing for us , his children . The hastiness of getting out of the valley loses the lessons of growth in the valley. The Lord your God sees you in the valley and sustains you enough to come out nourished , rejuvenated and basking in his glory.

God does not want to punish us , no , on the contrary , he wants us to reach the highest peaks in every aspect of our lives. The mountains will never be fully cherished if we did not know the valley experience. A testimony will bear less without the test . The eyes of the Lord , your God are continually on you . He cares for you , he will see you through and when he raises you up , your joy will be complete.

What is the valley in your life ? Have you had enough and need a step up or are you ready for the challenge of growth which will bring forth a defined , refined , individual ready to declare on the highest mountain top “MY REDEEMER LIVES”

Just as he dresses the lilies of the valley or feeds the birds in the air , how much more your Father in heaven will take care of you. Even Solomon in all of his splendour was not arrayed as these. Let God dress you in the valley , let him feed you in the valley and allow him to shape your wings cause when you fly , you will certainly fly high.

All you have to do in the valley is grow ...so do just that . Don’t look to the mountain top until you have conquered the valley below. Jordan is just ahead and ready for the taking so get equipped to conquer .

God Bless you as you grow in the valleys and stand on the mountains.

I was raised in So. Oregon and after many years there, you know what I finally realized? There isn't a single fruit tree in the mountains, they don't grow well there. Or, as Billy Graham said: Mountains are great for perspective, but the valley is where fruit is grown. Yes, you are right, we don't care much for the valleys because of the mountaintop times...but, we still long for those times of fruitfulness, we are certainly a paradox, aren't we? Suffering beneath the contradictions of our own theology.
