And Out of the Fog

This weekend I went to Richmond to the EKU Homecoming. It was a great time of reuniting with wonderful friends, catching up on the latest news, and experiencing one of the greatest parades east of the Mississippi! But I must confess that the greatest event that happened to me was something I witnessed this morning that resonated deep within my spirit.

I left Richmond around 8 this morning and was headed home. I had my radio on K-Love and I was just praising the Lord and watching the Sun rise in the beautiful, blue, cloudless, Autumn sky. It was a great day to praise the Lord. The roads were clear, the air crisp, and the sun bright and shining on the fiery mountains. As I'm moving along and praying I come to a small valley that was thick with fog. I became quite nervous because I couldn't see anything before. I soon thought of deer or other animals that love to get their morning breakfast and feared that they would jump in front of me. I seriously was worried that I would hit anything in front of me because it was thick fog and I couldn't see too far in front of me. I knew the sun was shining. I new the sky was clear. But I was in this mess of the fog. I was blinded for a short time. And out of the fog I drive into the clear, blue, cloudless sky that I new I was in the entire time. As soon as breaking through the fog I said "thank you Jesus" and I was soon reminded of the "fog" that we often travel through in life.

We can be moving quite well in our journey through life. Thinking everything is picture perfect and then we hit the "fog", whatever it may be and we can't see and we are blinded for a brief sometimes lengthier periods of time. Even though we walk in the blindness, in the confusion, and in the darkness, we know the Son is still shining, the Son is still on His throne, the Son is still Sovereign! And out of the fog we come and into His marvelous light!!

As I continued driving and the sun was out longer and the effects of the sun was being felt more intensely, the spots of fog were less. They were less often, less dense, and less intense. Again I was thinking that the longer we are in communion with the Son, the longer we are spending intense time with the Son the spot of fog will grow less and less. The Son will make a greater impact in our lives and our journeys can be clearer and "picture perfect" before Him!
