Hills and valleys of
goodness!
Verse for Today: Saturday, November 03,
2012
Deuteronomy 8:7 – For the Lord your God is bringing you
into a good land – a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing
in the valley and the hills.
God’s will for His children is always good, pleasant and
perfect. He offers the fullness of His blessings to His children. The spiritual
terrain that He leads His children into is one with experiences of both hills
and valleys. He keeps His blessings both
in the valleys and on the hills. His hills are not only filled with sunshine,
but also have springs to cool us off during the time of heat and sunshine. His
valleys have springs as well as pools to give us water all around the seasons. The
valleys give us blessings of the springs and the pools where we can dip and
cool ourselves off. There is no dull moment in the spiritual terrain of the
Lord where we find grazing field and resting places. It yields fruits of various
kinds, grains, oil and honey for healthy balanced diet. But our Lord expects us
to work had in the land and enjoy its yields to satisfy our every spiritual
need. As we move around in His land of blessings, we will meet His choicest
servants telling us of their experiences of how they found fulfillment through
the hills and valleys. These experiences are for us to learn to trust the Lord as
He wants us to also walk with Him and enjoy the goodness that He has
established in His land of blessings. When we are hungry and thirsty, we have
to go to Him and quench and satisfy ourselves with the fruit and grains that are
sufficient to meet all our inner longings here on earth. Today we are led into
the fullness of all the spiritual blessings of the heavenly places. We are
blessed with all that Heaven offers spiritually through His Word and the power
of His Spirit to live to appropriate what He offers on the hills and in the valleys
of our lives.
Dear reader, are you aware of the blessings the Lord has prepared
for you as you tread land of spiritual blessings that He has brought you into?
You might be passing through the valley of tears today, but the valley has the
Lord’s springs and pools to take away your desperation. His living water cools
you off the heat of your circumstances and brings out new springs of comfort
and encouragement to yourself and others. But He has also given you all the
spiritual nourishment that is in the valley to strengthen you in your times of hunger,
thirst and weariness in your soul. He has given you His Word which is full of
grains, fruit of various kinds, spring water, along with minerals and metals
for the ongoing character building. He expects that as you grow older and
mature, you work had in the valley and feed yourself from the fruit and grain for
your healthy growth and development. There is no shortage for anything in His valleys
and on His hills. If you want to enjoy the fullness of His hills, you will have
to climb by faith like Caleb. If you like to meet Jehovah-Jireh, you will need
to climb mount Moriah. If you want to see the Lord face to face, Mount Sinai is
right in front of you. Mount Calvary is there for you to climb to see the
suffering Savior and follow Him. You will meet the sons of Korah in the valley
of Baca and King David in the valley walking along without fear or anxiety. You
will meet Isaac digging wells in the valley and finding plenty of water. Today
God’s hills and valleys with the fullness of His blessings can be found in His
Word and in the daily experiences of His children where their Lord leads them
on a daily basis. He meets us where we are and gives us His blessings to meet
all our needs. He provides for us and expects us to appropriate all His
provisions by faith to live to testify to His faithfulness.
Psalms 34:10 – The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;
but they who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
Thought for Today
God’s hills and valleys
invite us today to go and appropriate His goodness to meet our every need.
