Now I Realize the Truth

Although this song hit me over four months ago, I heard it afresh again last night. When it came to this part of the song, I stopped what I was doing and just listened. It was these words:

Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

I just smiled and said, "Yes, Lord". While not necessarily my favorite thing to do, I realize the valleys are just as necessary as the mountains for life. Life with God. And that's really what I want.

It was good for me to be afflicted
so that I might learn your decrees.
Psalm 119:71

All for now,
Lisa
