Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

As you listen to the song “Hills and Valleys” by Tauren Wells, remember that I am beside you on the mountain and I carry you through the valley. As you walk through a forest valley, you will find surprises and treasures of dainty wildflowers, moss covered rocks and babbling brooks.  Valleys are not all desert experiences. In the valley, you may have to take rests in the upward journey, but the rests will provide timely respite with new insights and perspectives.  Stopping to rest allows you time to ponder the mysteries of My love, grace and mercy.  Resting on a fallen log, you take a refreshing drink of water, you hear bird song and feel a light breeze on your face.  Your  mind and body relax.  You see a stand of ferns and lady slippers, trillium and other wild flowers.  There is no need to move on yet.  Savor the moment.  Be thankful. Be still. All is well.

Lord, even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, 

fear will never conquer me, for you already have! You remain close to me and 

lead me through it all the way.  Your authority is my strength and my peace.

The comfort of your love takes away my fear.  I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.

Psalm 23:4  TPT
