The Valleys are Full of His Grace

The Valleys Are Full Of His Grace

It is not on the mountaintops
of gigantic breakthroughs

where we learn to live for God's glory.

But rather,
it's the valley of the mundane trenches

where we live out our everyday story.

And it's there in the ordinary
that we seek what is higher
and where we humble our hearts before Him.

For it's walking by faith
for our own unique issues

and seeking God as each one begins.

It's learning to pray without ceasing each day

and not giving up when answers don't come.

And it's learning to praise God
through good times & bad
and not just when a victory is won.

It's learning to endure the hardships of life

while realizing they all make you look up.

And it's learning to live with the stresses of the
day while drinking from sovereignty's cup.

It's living with the things that challenge your

beliefs yet cause faith & certainty to swell.

For it's not the " great times"....but rather the

adversities that create the faith-stories we tell.

And we'll never enjoy the breakthroughs and
successes still we've struggled
with every challenge to face.

For there's victory on the mountaintops
to relish for the moment
but the valleys are full of His grace.
