Serving in the Valley


I want so bad to go to the Tarak climb because this will qualify me to join the mission climb to Dalipey this March (or at least my climbing capability will be determined in this Tarak climb).

I have been praying for provision but it's already the day before the climb and I am still money-less. I feel bad about it and I've really been crying out to God to provide for me. I so badly want to join the mission climb.

But then God spoke to me and asked why? Why did I want to join the climb? Is it to really to serve Him in the mountains? Then He reminded me that I can serve Him, honor Him and give Him glory wherever I am.

I don't need to be up there to be used by Him. He reminded me that I am needed in the valley. That He is using me right here, right now and that I should not go.

I want so bad to go to the climb. I have been asking God to provide for me. But even if He doesn't, it wouldn't make a bit of difference, He is still God and He is still good and I will just worship Him for that.

I don't need to go. I can stay and give Him glory from down here.
If you throw us in the fire, the God we serve can rescue us from your roaring furnace and anything else you might cook up, O king. But even if he doesn't, it wouldn't make a bit of difference, O king. We still wouldn't serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up. (Daniel 3:17-18, MSG)
