Good morning and Praise God. *REFLECTION:GOD OF THE HILLS AND THE VALLEYS.*
Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The Lord is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude
into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’”
1 Kings 20:28
During the darkest moments of our family lives, we often feel like God is a thousand miles away. Like, He is with us on the mountain tops, when all is well, but not in the valleys when challenges come. Therefore in the valleys we may feel we’re all alone, deserted, neglected, despised, hopeless and goalless.
In 1Kings 20, the Syrian king was advised that Syria had fought Israel on the mountains and lost because Israel’s God was the God of the mountains only. So if they fought the Israelites in the valleys, they would win. Of course, the misinformed Syrians lost again because God is a God of the valleys too! There is nowhere you can be, where God's cover of mercy, peace, and grace is absent. Whether you are in the worst moments of your health or terribly challenged in the valley of the shadow of death, He is with you and will never leave you nor forsake you. So then don’t you lose hope. The God of the valleys is your only hope and your ever present help in times of trouble. He will uphold you and your family with His righteous right hand and deliver you from all evil.
Our God is not limited by our thoughts.He will hide us under His wings and cover us, in the mountains and in the valleys! In Jesus' name. Amen.🙏
