We have all had times...when we have seen things from God's standpoint and have wanted to stay there; but God will never allow us to stay there. ...[I]t is in the valley where we live for the glory of God.
The height of the mountaintop is measured by the drab drudgery of the valley.
We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle.
If a man cannot prove his religion in the valley, it is not worth anything.
