"As you look at the day before you...remember the One who is with you always... notice that a peaceful fog has settled over... The fog is a protection for you... to keep your focus on Me and on the path just ahead of you." (335)
This reminded me of how God can turn foggy times into incredible times in our lives. Joe and I have had seasons where God seemed to be strangely close, yet so hidden. He just wanted us to BE obedient without knowing what was up ahead. Being faithful in foggy times can be quite challenging, yet can reap great rewards.
The example of Moses encourages me. He heads up Mt. Sinai, staying in a smoky fog for days, until he not only has an incredible encounter with God, but comes back with incredible new insights (the Ten Commandments) with an incredible glow of God, literally, on his face! (Ex. 19, 33-34:35)
In every foggy season of my life, I pray for an encounter with God, new insights and for the glow of His Presence to rest on me. Someone once told me FOG stands for Friends Of God! Now that IS incredible!!

ReplyDeleteAmen! Love your insights ...so refreshing, insightful and helpful. Being faithful in foggy seasons is certainly challenging.. Thankful that he is with me when I can't quite see or understand His ways or the path before me.
