A Sinner in Love with God (Life Of David) No.4- Faith in the Valley

Have you ever noticed how naturally we celebrate God on spiritual mountaintops, but question Him in the valley? Too many people try to measure faith by the elevation of the spiritual mountaintop. But God measures it differently. The truth is, most of life is spent in the valley. If you’re not there right now, don’t worry. Sooner or later, every person will walk into one or be pushed into one. Sometimes it can feel like the walls are closing in, like you’ll never make it out. And its ok to say it. In the valley, there’s reasons to be afraid. You’re vulnerable there. Without the gift of faith, they can be devastating. But for the children of God, the valley is where faith becomes real. It’s the place where faith is proven. The mountaintop may feel spiritual, but it’s not God’s favorite meeting place. The valley is. God doesn’t invite you to climb up to Him; He promises to meet you in the place you’d never choose. That’s why we need today’s passage. For Christians, the valley should never just be a place of fear & exhaustion. It’s the place where our faith is forged. And today, Scripture is going to show us why & how faith is made.
