COT:
“What grows in the valley, does not grow on the mountain.”
In some ways, we’re all living in a “valley” right now – wishing we were standing on a summit with a great view. It can be easy to lose heart & sight of where we are & where we’re headed. But I love the imagery of this quote. The Pacific Northwest is one of my favorite places because of the Cascade Mountains & the amazing volcanic peaks. The lush green of the forests around these peaks comes to a sudden halt at the tree line & magnificent rock appears. Different things grow (or can’t grow) at different elevation levels.


This quote gives me encouragement that the things God teaches me & grows in me in the valley aren’t things that can be grown on the mountain top. The things in the valley have a richness to them that the mountain top cannot support & that give a support base to the mountain top itself.
