One Thousand Gifts (continued)

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on you" 
(Isaiah 54:10).

As Lynda Randle sings, "The God on the mountain, is still God in the valley", I am reminded of how faithful God is no matter what we are going through- whether it's being in the dark valley or high on a mountain top.  It's amazing how easily we feel like we're in a dark, low valley and that we're all alone.  It's also amazing how easily and soon thereafter, we are able to be back on the mountain top! Through the cross, Christ experiences every valley that we are in, and all of our pain and struggles.  He is always WITH us in the valleys and on the mountains!  God is good all the time; all the time, God is good!  He is faithful and His love is for all generations.
