Scripture/Text: ; When Jesus goes from the glory on the mountain to the reality in the valley (Mark 9.14-29), He encounters contention between people; desperate human need, and failures in faith. Pretty much sounds like our own experience in the valley we call life, doesn't it? In our effort and desire to overcome, we mustn't come to the Lord simply as a power. We must come to the Lord, in faith, as the Person He is, who loves us deeply.
