"Oh, but You came down the mountain, Like a pilgrim in reverse, To lead me through the canyons, The caverns and the caves, Sometimes it takes a valley, To find an Everest of faith"
Israel's in the land the Lord promised them yet there's still much to do. The Lord has been with them, He has strengthened them, and they had experienced some of His promises already. Yet there was more! "So Joshua said to the sons of Israel, "How long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?" Josh 18:3
There were challenges even within His promises. That's true in life as well, right? There are valleys and mountains, caverns and caves, but sometimes it takes a valley to find an Everest of faith. Like Joshua said to Israel let's not put off taking possession of things the Lord has promised. You may be experiencing lows, difficulties, or even valleys today. But let's sing, let's live, "I'm gonna get through this, So help me God, And I might climb a mountain, Or maybe You'll move it, But either way I get through it."
