He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills
Psalm 104:10
(KJV)
Jesus came from high places to dwell with us in low places. He spent thirty-three years among us in the valley. The valley represents a dry and barren place. Oh ~ but we see here in this verse that God sends springs gushing forth in the valleys~ between the mountains. He sends cool rushing waters to bring life.
Missouri is having a drought and the 100 degree temps are making matters worse. The ground is so parched and dry it is cracking. When it rains ~ the ground seems to soak it up with relief.
On the other hand ~ have you ever put your feet in a fresh~ cool ~cold spring on a hot summer day? Nothing better than that let me tell you.
Jesus came by way of a lowly manger, completed His work on a lonely hill called the place of a skull that sprang to life with His great sacrifice for mankind. In that valley the birds sang, the earth danced with elegance~ and the breezes carried mercy and grace to all man.
We can still hear music in the buzz of a bee, in the scent of a rose and in the dancing of of the trees. Listen carefully......can you hear the music of all Creation praising it's Creator?
We won't always hear the music ~ but we can still dance in the valleys of life. We can still dance by faith with assurance that our Creator is in control. Even the wind and waves obey His voice.
By trusting God~ staying in His Word~ and being encouraged by others who have spent time dancing in the valley~ we can learn what it means to not only thrive and survive but we can continue to grow!
Jesus can bring a rushing spring of fresh renewal to our souls~ we only need to be willing to receive it. Praying you splash today in God's fresh spring. It is easy to dance on top the mountains but when we dance in the valley ~we are growing!
