on the valley of vision

Is full-swing the right word to describe the semester at one week in? Probably. This semester has come rushing in, without warning or mercy; another 3 months of being a student. But the last 3 months. Beyond that, only as God would have it, for His glory.

When You lead me to the valley of vision
I can see You in the heights
And though my humbling wouldn't be my decision
It‚s here Your glory shines so bright
So let me learn that the cross precedes the crown

To be low is to be high

That the valley's where You make me more like Christ

Let me find Your grace in the valley
Let me find Your life in my death
Let me find Your joy in my sorrow
Your wealth in my need
That You're near with every breath
In the valley

In the daytime there are stars in the heavens
But they only shine at night
And the deeper that I go into darkness
The more I see their radiant light
So let me learn that my losses are my gain
To be broken is to heal
That the valley's where Your power is revealed

It's okay to not feel what you know, and it's okay to only have the head knowledge whilst feeling otherwise. Faith is seeing the Words of Christ, as revealed in the Scriptures, and trusting, without any other evidence (i.e. emotions, circumstances), that what has been spoken is true.

Where's your faith?
