Everyone who has a relationship with our Creator knows that it is easy to trust Him when the road is smooth, the view from the mountaintop is delightful and life is generally going well. But what about in the valley? The place where you feel alone, perhaps not sure that God is with you? That is where I have been for months now, but I am here to emphatically state that I will not let my feelings get in the way of my relationship with God and that includes continuing to trust Him.

Can I see the end of the battle with my health issues? No, but God knows. Can I understand why all of this is coming at me at once? No, but God knows. Do I want to go through all of this? Of course not, but I am willing to do what God allows to happen in my life so that I am in a stronger, more dependent relationship with Him.

None of the bad reports that I have gotten lately surprised God. He is not wringing His hands and saying, “Oh, my!” Or “Oh, dear, that’s too bad.” Or even, “I feel so bad for Vickie.” None of that is in God’s character. He is omnipotent, always. He is omnipresent, always. And, most importantly, He is always loving and merciful and I am believing that He will use all of this for a greater purpose. I don’t see a straight path out of this health dilemma, but this verse says clearly that God will make a path. The Creator of the Universe, the One who made me just the way I am, will make a path for me to follow, a clearly designated way up and out. Do I know how He will do that? No. But I trust Him and believe His Word and His promises. I hope that you will believe with me.

Is there anything happening in your life that I can pray for you about? It would be a privilege to do so. God, who is no respecter of persons, is totally trustworthy to handle your issues as well as mine. God bless you and keep trusting and believing. The answer is on the way and God is making a path for you!
