One hand hold at a time.......

Good morning everyone. Just getting home from a night of work and need to get my study on! I have been working on this flower bed for Misty for three days and I hope that today I can get it done. I pray that she will like it. I have bought some very pretty flowers/plants for it but, they don't look that pretty until they bloom. So, it might not look all that great at first. I love the Tennessee mountains this time of year. I walked outside yesterday and the smells were unbelievable! Have you ever thought about the mountains? What is at the bottom of a mountain? A valley.....Let's dig into some of the good stuff and check this out.

Bible Verse: Psalm 46:1 - "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

Did you know that it is totally impossible to have a valley without a mountain? They are beautiful complements in God's grand creation. The valley is the place of vision. It is the place of reflection. The mountain is the place of discovery, a place to become strong, and a place to get a little pep in your step. If you find yourself in a valley, it is because you have come down from a mountain. If you're on a mountain, you came there by way of the valley. I know this sounds weird but, we should rejoice when we are in the valley. Because we should know that sooner or later we will be on a mountain top with a smile on our faces. If you haven't been on a mountain top in awhile. Search your heart. What is going on? Have you made base camp in the valley? Maybe it is about time to break camp and load the pack mules! I'll meet you on the peak of the mountain. A friend of mine told me the other day that he goes hunting out west and he has to climb some very hard terrain. Taking one hand hold at a time. He told me there is nothing like being at the top of one of those mountains. He said it is like you can just talk to God and He is with you! Guess what? He is always with us. Even when we are in the lowest of lows. He will be your help and your refuge. We just have to cling to Him and start climbing. One hand hold at a time! Are you in the valley or on the mountaintop? Do me a favor read Psalm 46 about the strength of the Lord. Rest and rejoice in His strength wherever God has you right now. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless!
