Back To The Valley

Well, we are back from the mountaintop, and I suppose in the swing of our daily schedules. At our last Tuesday night study, we talked about how Jesus would go up to the Mount of Olives frequently and considered why He did. Having just come down the mountain from our Redeemed retreat, we KNOW why He spent so much time there!


The Mountain:  A place where the valley disappears underneath us. A place of reflection and meditation. A place where the stars are brighter and it seems that creation takes a breath around us. And, indeed, a place where our physical person stands closer to eternal home!


I just wanted to encourage you! The enemy will be hot on our tails to discourage us from the work the Lord did in removing the chaff off our souls, dusting off our walking shoes of faith, and setting us up in strength and boldness to leave a remnant for the travelers behind us!


Stay strong, ladies! Stay put in your Promised Land territory. You are in the House of Bread even if it feels famished. Take heart, dear Ruth! Your Redeemer lives!


Personal challenge for us:
        * Can we trust the God of the valley, just as firmly as we do the God of the mountain?

  * Will we have faith that the one Who holds you and leads you has your absolute best in mind, come what may?
  * Will we take our Remnant of Blessing, hold it high, and say in the face of the valley…. BUT GOD!?

Have an absolute blast with your Goel as He lavishes

His blessings and benefits on His beautiful bride!
