Chalk Creek Canyon, Colorado
This picture of the mountains surrounding Chalk Creek Canyon captures both the feeling of ascending and descending. The mountains ascend to the sky while the rocks descend to the valley.
You can probably place yourself somewhere in this picture. Life has its ups and downs. Your life is either ascending or descending.
You might be experiencing a time of grief as if you were descending into the depths of the valley. You might be experiencing a period of joy as if you're traversing the mountain ridges to some new vista.
"If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!" Psalm 139:8 English Standard Version
The point of life is not the ups and downs but the reality of God's presence in the ups and downs. There is no valley that is so deep that God isn't there. There is no mountain so high that it out reaches God. There is no time in your life when you will not need God.
In the ups and downs of life, Christ is there. His cross is our guarantee.
