I challenge you to not only celebrate the mountaintops…
but to find joy in the valley.
There’s a detail in the story of David and Goliath that many people overlook. Before David ever swung that stone… before he ever tasted victory… the Bible says:
The men of Judah stood on one mountain.
The Philistines stood on another mountain.
But to engage the battle… they had to go down into the valley.
Before elevation, there was a descent.
Before triumph, there was a low place.
Before the win, there was the valley.
Take that and apply it to your life:
Every mountaintop moment is preceded by a season that forces you downward — into humility, into refinement, into growth.
Don’t curse your valley.
Embrace it.
Smile through it.
Speak life into it.
Because the valley isn’t punishment — it’s preparation.
Don’t just have confidence…
Have faith.
Because faith is what turns the valley into the path that leads you to your Goliath-sized victory.
