A Little Encouragement - April 6,2009

A spiritually-refreshing weekend can renew our focus on God's Kingdom and His purposes. And, we enjoy such a time-out period. But, God wants to bless us beyond such "mountain-top" experience by taking us back down to the "valley". Because, it is in the "valley" that the rich soil of trials and testings is found. It is in the "valley" that the fruit of a Christ-like character is grown in those who pursued after their Lord on the "mountain-top". Let us be thankful to God for both the "mountain-top" and the "valley" of His choice.

God's Word says:

"But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law." - Galatians 5:22,23 (New Living Translation)
