“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance” (Psalm 65:11). 

Whatever happens and however it may happen, God ends with the placement of His crown of goodness. That is why He is called good even when things happen that are difficult to explain. When there are valleys there also must be mountains and the deeper the valley, the higher the mountains. Valley experiences are not always fatal. They can be but are not necessarily fatal. His path is frightening to the fainthearted. Every wall in the valley contains a message that you have reached the point of no return. But as long as you are aware that He is leading you, you can trust Him throughout the journey. A crown awaits you at the end of the season of testing. Not only is there a crown, but there are rich blessings to be gathered along the way.
