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
till we've struggled with every challenge to face.
There's victory on the mountaintops to relish for the moment
but the valleys are full of His grace.
