Scripture teaches that valleys, or difficult experiences, are not abnormal for God’s people.

Podcast 40: Valleys Are Normal, Finding Hope – Part 3

Play

I used to skip through the Beatitudes to more comforting verses in Matthew, but scripture teaches that valleys, or difficult experiences, are not abnormal for God’s people. They are the norm.

 

Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are thy that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

 

God is faithful and He promises to never leave us or forsake us. He is a very present help in trouble.

 

And sometimes what appears hard and difficult is actually a blessing in disguise. I know you will be encouraged by the story of a modern day Daniel in an African lion’s den.
