This song by Bill & Gloria Gaither and sung by Linda Randle came to my mind this week:
Life is easy, when you're up on the mountain
And you've got peace of mind, like you've never known
But things change, when you're down in the valley,
Don't lose faith, for you're never alone
You talk of faith when you're up on the mountain
But talk comes so easy, when life's at its best
Now it's down in the valley of trials and temptations
That's where your faith is really put to the test
For the God on the mountain, is still God in the valley
When things go wrong, He'll make them right
And the God of the good times, is still God in the bad times
The God of the day, is still God in the night
Psalm 121:1-8 (NLT2)
1 I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there?
2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth!
3 He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.
4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
5 The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.
7 The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
8 The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
