THE GOD OF THE HILLS AND VALLEYS. Have you ever felt that there were days that nothing has happened as you have planned? Just one by one, things were beginning to unravel?
I've had days like these. When I missed my shuttle by seconds. When I had too much stress in the office. Or just plain bombarded with negative thoughts, or going through a rough time in my life. I have learned (and I am still learning) that in all things, God is in control, He is God and He has you in the palm of His hands, He is looking down on you, and He can see your pain, your situation.
There are times that I have felt down and defeated, sometimes wondering and asking God why He allows these hard times to happen in our lives. Then God reminds me that although I may not see the big picture yet, He is there, He is making all things right for me. He is with me in the hills, in the good times and He is with me in the valleys, the difficult and hard times.
As my favorite song of the moment says:
No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley, I know I am not alone!
When I'm walking through the valley, I know I am not alone!
Hills and Valleys
by Tauren Wells
I've walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I've felt the pain of heartbreak
And I've seen the brighter days
And I've prayed prayers to heaven from my lowest place
And I have held the blessings
God, you give and take away
You wiped my tears away
And I've felt the pain of heartbreak
And I've seen the brighter days
And I've prayed prayers to heaven from my lowest place
And I have held the blessings
God, you give and take away
No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley, i know I am not alone
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!
To the one who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain, I didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley, i know I am not alone
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!
I've watched my dreams get broken
In you I hope again!
No matter what I know
Know I'm safe inside Your hand
In you I hope again!
No matter what I know
Know I'm safe inside Your hand
Father, you give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all you will remain
Over it all!
Every joy and every pain
Through it all you will remain
Over it all!
Know that whatever you are going through, you are not alone. God is with you, even though you cannot see or feel it. He will see you through, just trust Him. :)
