1 Kings 20:23
Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their gods
are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we
fight against them in the plain, surely we will be stronger than they.
I read this in a e-devotion and was so encouraged to be reminded that even in our valley seasons, God is there for us to have victory.
Sometimes we just need to be refreshed by the living truth found in God's word. However awful the season, however low and doubtful we can be, we need to be reassured that God isn't away from us in the lows of life.
Why are we in the lows, I cannot explain. What I can take faith is He's the lord of the rain as much as He's the lord of the sunshine and that itself is why we need to tell ourselves in simple faith, even if we beat ourselves for our negative doubts, that God never leaves us. We may be unfaithful, but He will never be. That's why He's full of grace beyond our understanding.
Take heart, strength for the lows of your journey is always provided by the God of the hills and valleys.
