Today's Scripture<br />

“Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills.<br />

Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will<br />

be stronger than they.”<br />

1 Kings 20:23<br />

GOD OF <strong>THE</strong> MOUNTAIN AND <strong>THE</strong> VALLEY<br />

Preciousone, I want you to know that our God is the God of the mountains, but He is<br />

also the God of the valleys! No matter where you are, He is God. He is faithful on the<br />

mountain and in the valley. When you are in the valley, the devil will do all he can to<br />

convince you that God is not as good to you in that valley as He is on the mountain.<br />

He will do all he can to make you think that God is not the God of the valley, but do<br />

not listen to him. The truth is that, every Christian will go through a valley of one<br />

sort or another, but God is always there with us.<br />

God's love and His power are with you whether we are on the mountaintop or in the<br />

valley deep. He is Jehovah-Nissi. Praise God that He is in your valleys as well as your<br />

mountains. When you're down, when you're feeling low, when you're defeated,<br />

when you're sick, when you're weak, when you're depressed, when you're<br />

discouraged, when you're doubting; GOD IS STILL <strong>THE</strong>RE! He has promised to<br />

never leave you nor forsake you but to be with you until the end! His promises are<br />

true regardless of how we feel! The same way you praise God on the mountain top, is<br />

the same way you should praise Him in the valley.<br />

Many times in our lives we nd ourselves in the middle of the valley, we are weak,<br />

tired, empty and alone. We feel so far from the presence and the anointing of God.<br />

And when we call on Him we feel like we get a busy signal. Be rest assured God is<br />

always with you, regardless of your location and situation. On the mountain top,<br />

God is there as you bask in His presence and enjoy the best things of this life. In the<br />

valley He is there, to help your faith to grow, to mold you into a useful vessel and to<br />

help you mature and be strong.<br />

Not only will He be God in your valley but He will lead you through. So whatever you<br />

are going through right now, know that God is right there in your valley with you. He<br />

is holding you in His arms and carrying you through the valley. Victory is already<br />

yours. Just as the Israelites were also victorious in the valley, so will you be because<br />

the God of the valleys is right there with you!<br />

Always remember; For the God on the mountain, is the God in the valley. When<br />

things go wrong, He'll make them right. And the God of the good times is still God in<br />

the bad times.<br />

with me and will never<br />

in the mighty name of<br />

Jesus! Amen.
