On a recent morning I woke up and peeked outside my window and saw the entire neighborhood covered with an incredibly thick fog. Shortly after, I had to try to drive through it to run an important errand. Turning on to the main road was terrifying. You couldn’t see a thing. Cars were literally coming out of a cloud and crossing my path. At some point, I just had to edge out and hope no one would hit me.
It has since occurred to me that a Christian walk can be like that. You can’t see what’s coming in life. Adversity can come suddenly, from out of nowhere, and strike you. Sometimes you just have to step out in faith and hope for safety and protection.
Eventually, the fog in my neighborhood did lift that day and the sun shone brightly. I was able to complete my errand safely. If life has you engulfed in a cloud of troubles and worry, don’t despair. Trust that God will lift your fog as well. You’ll get through it. The sun is still up there. You just can’t see it yet.
