This is what is known as your mountaintop
experience! “At times like these it’s easy to stand your ground and the view
couldn’t be better” (pg. 6).
However, there are the days when it seems like
everything is hitting
you all at once.
These are the valleys in our lives. The times when
we need to ask for
a little help. Those days we feel like the ground
is shaking under our
feet. “But we’re not left alone in the quicksand”
(pg. 6).
Read: Psalms
121:1-2
Over the next several Sundays we will be
discussing how God helps us Stand Our Ground in the valleys as well as on the
mountaintops. “‘Take heart. Stand your ground. Trust the Lord to help you do
it!’” (pg. 7).
