We all go through a valley season at some point in our lives. But it teaches us many things we wouldn’t have learned if we don’t go through it. And in GOD TV’s Arise episode, Chanthal Whites shares a powerful message to believers going through the valley we all need to hear.
The Valley
“The valley is not a good place, not a nice place. It’s not a place where we want to be,” Chanthal said.
Chanthal does not shy away from the fact that even as Christians, human as we are, we all go through a valley situation in our lives. The Arise host also further described that “a valley is a place of dryness, and loneliness.”
She also added, “It is a place where you feel awkward. You feel that in some way you don’t belong. You feel lost, you feel you don’t have any answers.” And then she went to explain that it might include a feeling of being forgotten. A feeling “that everybody has left you behind.” But the good news is it does not end there.
Psalm Of David
Chanthal then shared how David responded when he was going through a valley situation in his life. In Psalm 23:4, David said, “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil..”
Perhaps you may also be going through that same difficult season right now. And it could be in your marriage, finances, workplace, infertility, or your asking God for a spouse. Whatever that may be, know that God is with you in this season. But what’s amazing is that David also demonstrated how we should respond in unlikely seasons like it. And the valley, according to Chanthal, teaches us how to trust in God alone.
“The valley teaches us valuable lessons of discipline. Discipline in studying the Word, trusting God no matter what the odds look like. It doesn’t matter what is happening around you. You are focused on the Word alone. The valley teaches you how to be disciplined in your walk with God,” she further pointed out.
