One Thousand Gifts (Continuned)

"Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken" 

(Isaiah 40:4,5). 

Life has its ups and downs, a bit like a roller coaster. We have all experienced those exciting, mountain top experiences and those difficult lows in valleys. However, God is always with us in valleys and on the mountain tops. As Lynda Randle says, "The God of the mountain will see you through life's valleys." Take comfort, you are never alone.

God On The Mountain Lyrics (sung by Lynda Randle) 

 Life is easy when you're up on the mountain And you've got peace of mind like you've never known. But then things change and you're down in the valley. Don't lose faith for you're never alone. For the God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, He'll make it right. And the God of the good times is still God in the bad times. The God of the day is still God in the night.

You talk of faith when you're up on the mountain. Oh but the talk comes easy when life's at its best. But it's down in the valley of trials and temptation That's when faith is really put to the test. For the God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, He'll make it right. 

And the God of the good times is still God in the bad times. The God of the day is still God in the night. For the God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, He'll make it right. And the God of the good times is still God in the bad times. The God of the day is still God in the night. The God of the day is still God in the night.
