There Is Hope In The Valley
from March 2020
by Megan Van Meter
How many times a day do we look at our calendars and wonder how we will get everything completed? As women, we find ourselves running full steam ahead during our day. There are kids to drop off at school, work, errands, practices for our children, supper, and the list goes on. When do we find time for ourselves? A better question is, when do we find time for God? We run so much that some days, we feel we are

running toward the cross but just can’t seem to make it. We know where our rest lies if we could only have that time carved out in our day. When we reach the end of ourselves, we look around, and we are in a valley from not being fed by the Word, wondering where we go from there. Do not despair, for there is hope in the valley.
I am reminded of three simple words my pastor says over and over about our Lord: “I’ve got this.” No matter the situation, Jesus is right beside us even when we lose sight of Him, and “He’s got this.” He holds us in His tender hands even when we feel a million miles from Him. He knows all the details of our schedule, and if we allow Him to, He
will give us direction on every one of them. God gives us Scripture to get us through those valleys and dry seasons of life. Isaiah 40:3-4 plainly states, “In the desert prepare the way for the Lord…every valley shall be raised up…the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.” This is His promise to us.
Making time for ourselves is easy to say but difficult to accomplish. Women need other women for fellowship, to bear one another’s burdens, and to share the good times and the bad times. We know in our hearts how much we need the kinship, but applying the words, in some cases, does not happen. If we do not take care of ourselves, we will become exhausted and spread too thin; it will be difficult to be effective for anyone else. Draw upon Scripture, worship music, and hymns to find your peace. The old hymn “There Will be Peace in the Valley” reminds us that the bear will be gentle, the wolves will be tame, and the lion shall lay down with the lamb. Trusting in God allows our bears, lions, and wolves to all be eased by the Word of God and the promise of His love. If we first find our peace in God, we will find a peace that surpasses all understanding, and it will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
When your stream is dry and you do not know where to turn, remember, God has a beautiful lake waiting for you in the middle of green pastures and fresh flowers. The man on the middle cross said you can come.
“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:30-31).
