God is with us wherever we go. He is there during the good days and the bad. He is there when we call upon Him and will always show Himself faithful.
2022 is coming to a close, and this year was filled with some good and bad days. Maybe this year was filled with more harder days than easier ones. But I want to encourage you all, to look at the place that those days brought you too. God led you out of your own Red Sea and sees how it made you grow closer to Him.
We all don’t want to walk through the valley’s; instead we would rather walk on the mountain top. But it is through the valley’s that we learn, grow, and discover more of who God is.
God is love.
These three words help us realize who Jesus is. Jesus loved us so much that He came to earth to die for you and me. He died because He wanted us to live with Him. He died to set us free from the power of sin, death, hell, and the grave.
Yes, we do have to go through the valleys of life, but God warned us this would happen. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). So, thank God for every good and bad day. Thank Him for what He has done in Your life.
During the valley, He opened the Red Sea and brought You to the mountain top. And one day, when this journey ends, we will hear, “…‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” (Matthew 25:23).
This is our hope we have in Jesus. So, don’t get discouraged and remember what God told us in Deuteronomy 31:6, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray that everyone who reads this devotional realizes how special they are. Open their eyes to what the valley’s did in their lives. Show them how they got closer to You through it all. Thank You Jesus for the valleys and thank You for making a way out of them. We can’t wait to hear You say, “… ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” (Matthew 25:23). In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
