The Legacy of the Descent

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

We all want to live on the mountaintops, those moments where God feels close, victory is clear, and faith is easy. But the reality of life is that we can't stay on the summit. We have to go back down to the plain, to the emails, the laundry, the job, and the daily grind. In our spiritual lives, we often treat the descent like a disappointment, a return to the boring, ordinary grind of emails and laundry. But what if the most important part of the journey isn't the view from the top, but what you carry back down to the valley?
