Dry Spells

It appears that more and more people are determining that they are in a dry spell, valley or some uneventful place by some other name. Life is about highs and lows, good and bad, easy and difficult, dry and wet or happy and sad. Many seem to think that when life is not full of exciting emotion that everything is bad. But is it? Is it not in these times that one looks more insightfully into their past as well as their future. Realizing that some decisions in the past might be the reason they are experiencing this particular valley. Realizing if something does not change then nothing is going to change. During these times we seem to have a heightened sense of where we are. Are these not the times when God is most findable in who He really is? Are these not the times when we really realize where our hope is found? Are these not the times that determine who we really are and who we really trust? It is not the emotions of Christianity or life that I put my trust. It is in Christ and the truth of His Word that I have to trust no matter how I feel. Is there anything else one can trust 100%? Valleys are separated by mountains, so if one wants to get to the next mountaintop you have to go through the next valley. Keep your head up and climb my friend. (Read Psalm 42 and 63)
