When life is wonderful, with no obstacles, sickness, or pain, we think little about troubling times…for they seem as far off as the distant future. But it’s during those very troubling times that our moral strength is truly tested. Anyone one can perch on the mountaintop and praise God, but it takes real resolve & determination to praise Him in the valley…especially when the valley experience brings weariness, discouragement, & fear. In Joshua 1:9, God tells His people, “Don’t be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” God’s Presence is not only with us on the mountaintops when everything in life is great, but He’s also close by as we trudge through the dark valleys of illness, medical emergencies, and sorrow. And so our faith should remain strong & not falter, knowing His divine Presence is fulfilling His promises day by day…whether on top of the mountain or below.
