The Light in the Valley

When you find yourself in a valley or rut in life, it’s difficult to see over the horizon, to have a vision for what God has in store for you on the other side of it. We are collectively, culturally, in a valley right now. We are grieving the loss of normalcy, angry, disappointed, and frustrated. And it would be easy to despair. But valleys are not places for despair, they are places for growth and transformation. How is God calling you to grow right now? What needs to change in your life on the other side of the valley? How will that transformation be a blessing to others? Keep your eye on the horizon and press on toward the goal.
