Meditate On
Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel,
and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The Lord is God
of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all
this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’”
1 Kings 20:28
God Of
The Valleys Too
In the darkest moments of our lives, we often feel like
God is a thousand miles away. God is with us on the mountaintops, we think, but
in the valleys, we’re all alone.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In 1 Kings 20,
the Syrian king was told that Syria had fought Israel on the hills and lost
because Israel’s God was the God of the hills. So if they fought the Israelites
in the valleys, they would win. Of course, the misinformed Syrians lost again
because God is a God of the valleys too!
My friend, there’s nowhere you can go where you’re not
covered by God’s mercy and grace. Whether you are in the pink of health or
terribly ill in the valley of the shadow of death, He is with you and will
never leave you nor forsake you. So don’t lose hope. The God of the valleys is
your strength. He will uphold you with His righteous right hand and deliver you
from your enemies!
BLESSINGS
