The Day After… You went on a retreat, or a vacation, or took sometime away, and now you have to face your life again. The same pressures, problems, and circumstances are still there. Sometimes it’s hard to get back to life. The day after can be difficult. Life starts back up again. And to be honest, coming down from the mountain is always difficult.

But remember, although the situation or problems are the same, you are NOT. Many times we go from the Mountain top right into the Valley. We go from an extreme spiritual high or connectivity with God to a devastating time of distress and discouragement.

1. When you are on the mountain you can forget about your problems for a while.

2. When you are on the mountain you can see Jesus

3. When you are on the mountain you can hear from God.

Unfortunately, we must come off that mountain. Let me say this before we go any further:

1. When you are in the valley you can endure your problems.

2. When you are in the valley you can still see Jesus.

3. When you are in the valley you can still hear from God.

But the most important reminder is Jesus Came Down from the Mountain also. Matthew 8:1 “When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.”

The retreat or vacation is meant to refresh your perspective and reestablish your position. Join us this week as we talk about The Day After. How we get back to life after a great retreat.

For the next 6 weeks you can join us live on zoom at 7:00 Arizona Time. Come be a part of the conversation.
