God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
It’s easy to praise God when we are at the top of the mountain. Everything seems to be nice during good times. But when we are at the dark valleys, most of the time we begin to question, “God, why all these take place?” “God, where are, You?”
It is not our choice whether or not to face the dark valleys in life; it is part of life. However, we have a choice to respond to our darkest valleys. You and I have two choices, whether to continue to grumble, or to surrender our lives to Him. When we complain and grumble we will always question Him, “why, God?” but if we learn to surrender our lives to Him, we will be asking Him, “God, what would You want me to know and learn through this situation?”
Why the Loving God allows dark valleys in our lives? God in His infinite wisdom uses valleys to accomplish what He wants to accomplish in our lives. The Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent God, knows exactly what He is doing in our lives.
We read in Genesis about a young man by the name of Joseph who has gone through much trial and betrayal. He was hated by his own brothers and was sold into slavery. Joseph also spent many years in prison for something he didn’t do. Why did God allow Joseph, a righteous man, to suffer for many years? In the darkest valley, Joseph was being prepared for a significant opportunity that would make all the tough times worthwhile. Romans 8:28 is our promise that God will use all things together for our benefit, if we love Him.
If today you are at any valley, do not lose heart! God is with you in your valleys. As God says in the Bible, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5. God will walk with you in your valleys and He knows how to bring you out victoriously from that valley. After every valley you and I will come out stronger, more matured in Christ and be useful in His kingdom.
