Why do we spend more time in the valleys than on the mountain? Well the answer came …fold.
The mountain top, spiritually, consumes us, and takes so much energy to stay there. When you’re in the holiness of God, we really are not good for any other purpose but to worship God.
Olympic athletes cannot maintain the level of training and conditioning for the four years between Olympiads neither can Professional athletes, they all have down time. Between seasons they maintain general conditioning and invest their lives to being at their peek at just the right time.
Jesus himself spent time on the mountain but his ministry was in the valley. He knew that he needed the time in the Glory of the Father, but his fields and calling was what was in the valley.
We also need the time in the valley as that’s where the fields are, that’s where our calling and ministry lies. We need to know that we are the same person as we are in the most worshipful times, we are just walking in what we are called to do. As the athletes I referred to above, we need to stay in shape, reading and studying, as we can be called upon at any time.
We have this misconception that the valley equals backsliding and this really is not the case. God knows that we would not be of any use to the world if we stayed on the mountain. Our valley is where we are called to minister. Remember the Mount of Transfiguration, We will have eternity to basque in the Glory of God.

I agree for the most part, however i believe that the valley time is just as important as mountain top time. Fruit is produced in the valley, not on the mountain top. the living water received while on the mountain top runs off into the valley where it gives life there. Things learned or planted while on the mountain top are developed and grow to flourish during the trials faced during the time we are in the valley. The time we spend on the mountain top is crucial, and more time there would not hurt anything, but at the same time, time in the valleys is no less important.
