God speaks mostly clearly and most meaningfully to me in the valleys and the tough times. I think this is true for most people. That God speaks most powerfully in their dark times, not when they are on top of the mountain.
Why though?
Perhps becuase when we are on top of the mountain we are so consumed with ourselves and the thrill of the moment, the thrill of the accomplishment that we look to self, success, status or some other idol in our life and not God.
And when we are in the valley we are most desperate to hear God speak, becuase all of our other idols that we serve have let us down and left us. And we are most desperate for God.
It's funny though, when we are in the valley how we seek to get out of it as soon as possible rather than be open to what God is speaking to us or doing in us.
Embrace the valleys....
