‘GRACE WAVES DEVOTIONAL’
1 Kings 20:28 “God is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys!”
In this story the Syrian army attack Israel seeking to invade them. Because God is with Israel they defeat the Syrians.
This battle took place on the mountains of Israel. The Syrians in their ignorance think they were defeated because the god of Israel is only the God of the mountains not the god of the valleys, so they return to fight Israel in the valley of Aphek, but God is with Israel and again they defeat the Syrians!
God says to us today, “Do not be ignorant of who I am to you. I am not just the God who is with you in your mountain-top experiences; I am also the God who is with you in your valley experiences! Therefore, trust me in the valleys and they will be to you as the mountain-tops!”
Kenneth Hagin (the Father of the Faith Movement) when asked about how he went through his valley experiences said, “What valleys?”
What he meant was that although he went through problems, pain or failure, he was never affected by them because his trust was always in God.
Therefore, he rejoiced in the Lord just as much in the valleys as he did on the mountain-tops!
Ps 23:4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me, Your rod and staff comfort me!
Meditation Point: As I trust God in the valley experiences of life, my heart will be at peace and rest, and I will see God work on my behalf!
Phil 4:8 Think (meditate) on these things. www.peterwilsonministries.org
