I want to climb out of the valley whenever I’m in it. It’s the place where you can feel down, not up. It’s not up to us to determine when and how we get out.

Joshua was called to fight in the book of Joshua and he had to go to the low place to understand what his call would be in the future. His call was to fight to get his people to the Promised Land. So, he was called to fight in the valley.

The calling that you have in the future may call you to fight through some tough experiences and push through to what He’s calling you to do. Your current fight might be what strengthens you to reach the place He wants you to be. When He calls you, He’s calling His warriors. If you want to be in the Lord’s Army, then you need to get ready for the war. We can’t even begin to talk about victory without the battle. That’s part of the calling.

A lot of your pain foreshadows your future promise. We have to get through what we go through to get to what God wants us to get to. I had to understand that God wants me to use everything He’s given me to move closer to His purpose. We might not enjoy being in the valley, but we have to change our perspective.

We often let the things that we go through go through us. It has Godlike powers over us, how we think, and the outcome of the situation. While we’re going through it, it shouldn’t be going through us and determining the output.

If what you see is all you see, you do not see what needs to be seen. My dad told me that all the time and now I’m telling you.

Be steadfast, unmovable, always abound in the work of the Lord and know that it will not go in vain!
