Tings may never return to their original state. People have lost their jobs. We have to realize that, in light of everything that we’re dealing with, God is still God. He is God of the mountain and the valley.

Jesus took some of His disciples up to the mountain and they saw and experienced the glory and presence of God. Jesus experienced the valley in the Garden of Gethsemane where He realized His destiny of self-sacrifce and said: “Lord take this cup from me.”

Even Jesus experienced God on the high mountain where everything was wonderful and God in the low valley where life challenged His faith. His impact on the world stemmed from the decisions He made both on the mountain and in the valley. People are deciding whether or not to continue their businesses.

I challenge you to make decisions based on the Word of God and not feelings. Make decisions that will cause you to be in right-standing with God and don’t allow your emotions to be on the pedestal of your life. Te mountain references the place of revelation where you receive insight and inspiration.

On the mountaintop, Jesus knew that God’s tangible presence was there. God began to speak to Him in that place and gave Him insight and understanding. God also waits to meet and speak with you on the mountain to give you wisdom and insight. We all love being on the mountaintop.

Everyone of us will go through valley experiences in our lives. Tose experiences are simply a part of life but they are temporary. Here’s the good news about being in the valley - God is right there with you! When issues seem to come out of nowhere, or you get news that a loved one is terminally ill, you know what? Tat’s the time to remind yourself that God is with you.

Tis is important because the valley is where many battles in the mind are fought. I want to encourage you because you have the tools of victory to prevail and overcome! Decide today that quitting is not an option for you. God has a plan to reveal His glory in you.

Someone else’s mountaintop to breakthrough may be relying on the testimony of how you got victory in your valley experience. You have to make up in your mind that you’re going to replace the negative with the good. I had to replace negative emotions, sadness with words that were full of joy.
