The Blessing of Your Valley
(Romans 8:28 /NLT) And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

While I hope only the best for your life and mine, we know that time and again there will be difficult moments we will have to bear. I’ve certainly had some thus far in my life, and I’m sure you have, too. During my difficulties, I found myself wondering if I would be able to make it through. I often felt like I would not be able to bear anything else. But God – He helped me through and He strengthened me in the experience. This is what He does for us when we are going through our valley experiences. Valleys are uncomfortable blessings. They are not unfortunate circumstances. They have divine and eternal purpose. God calls us out to be His own, and times of trouble are merely necessary tools He uses to bring about what He knows is best for us and within us. We can trust God in absolutely all things. So let’s hold on to our faith in Him and rejoice in knowing He’s got a blessing in the valley for us each time we must go through.
