“ Through your struggles God is proven in you” Often times while life is at its best its easy to proclaim our love for Christ. During those times of being on the mountain its so easy to see & testify of Gods goodness. However the God on the mountain is still God in the valley. What will we say when we pray so hard for healing, but someone we love dies anyway. What about when we lose a job we love, our marriage falls apart, sickness riddles our body, and the songs we once sang, our voice no longer will ring. During those times is Jesus any less God than when we were on the mountain? I say to you that Christ is closer to us during our struggles , due to our human nature calling out to him just as Peter did when he said “ Lord save me”, as he sank after taking his eyes off Christ with nothing but water under his feet.(Matt.14:30)Through our struggles, our faith is tested by fire & comes through pure & true. God never promised trials would not come, However he did promise to be “ a very present help” in times of trouble & to be that friend who sticks “ closer than a brother” . Stick with Christ… Come what may. In him alone we find hope. Through our struggles, God is proven in us! Remember without the valley, there can be no Peaks.
