Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Why is it that sometimes it seems as though winter is twice as long as the other seasons? There have been years when it felt like spring would never come. Yet, it inevitably did come. There has never been a year that winter lasted forever. There has never been a year when spring didn’t come.
There are times when a season of waiting on God for an answer to prayer or a season of testing and trial can seem to stretch on forever. I call them the valley times. No one chooses or enjoys being in a valley of difficulty but we will all face a valley season at one time or another.
There is one thing that has helped me to survive the valley seasons of my life and that is to keep walking. God never intended us to camp out or dwell in the valley. Time after time, God’s Word talks about us walking through the valley. It never instructs us to pitch a tent or build a house and dwell there. When we keep on walking, in spite of how tempting it is to lie down, give up or quit, we will inevitably one day find ourselves walking right on out of the valley.
Whatever challenge you face today , don’t let that obstacle become bigger than your God . God is bigger than any problem you maybe facing today. All you got to do is hold His hand and trust Him. He will help you through all those hardships , no matter what they maybe. God will never leave , nor will He forsake you. He shall be with you until the end. KEEP MOVING FORWARD!
