Mark 9:2-29

After a “mountaintop” experience with God we can become disillusioned when we have to return to our everyday lives. Naturally, it’s hard to balance being overwhelmed with God’s presence on the mountaintop with being confronted everyday with unbelievers, sickness, and demonic activity. It’s hard to balance times when we clearly hear God’s voice with times when He is silent. Despite the seemingly deep contrasts in our experiences, as believers we stay balanced when we realize that God is present with us on the mountaintops and in the valleys. When we cannot hear God’s voice like we would like to, He is still moving powerfully in our lives and in the lives of the people around us.
