Christians get sick. Christian marriages fall apart. Christian parents have trouble with their children. Christians have financial troubles. At one time or other Christians walk through some pretty dark valleys.
When Jesus allows us to go through valleys, it serves to remove from our lives things that were not needed, and it brings us into a closer and purer relationship with the Lord.
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
As we weather the storms of life and see God come through time and again, we can learn to develop a spirit of praise as we journey toward Heaven.
We will find that our unseen Savior will see us through every trial.
John 16:33, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
Lay your burden at the feet of Jesus then walk away.
