The journey of our Christian lives is not a constant mountain peak experience. How cool would it be if it was? Or would it? Sometimes I think it's the trips through the valleys that allow us to more completely appreciate the joy that comes when we get those moments on top of the mountain.
Let's face it, we all experience those spiritual dry times where you feel alone, isolated, and that God has gone silent in your life. Those moments are grueling for even the most mature of Christians. What I find, though is how important it is to remind ourselves that we are never alone in these moments. Even in those valley of dry bones moments (Ezekiel 37), God is right there with us waiting for us to walk in obedience so that we can fully see His awesome power on display. Here are a few songs that speak encouragement to me in those moments. The first is one that I just heard for the first time last week and had the awesome opportunity to sing it with Crystal McCall and the rest of the worship team at Northwood. Crystal did an awesome job on it and I wish I had that recording, but it's still a great song of encouragement.
