Caught In A Fog

Caught In A Fog

I hate driving in fog! The worst days are when the fog is so thick that you can’t even see the markings on the road and you are afraid that you are going to run off of the road, or worse, hit another driver head-on. That is the scariest feeling in the world. On these days, the fog is so thick that you can’t even see the sun. Do you ever feel like your life is in a fog? Like there is all of this junk that is keeping you from being able to see the Son? Sometimes our lives just get “cluttered”, don’t they? We get so busy that the moments that we allot for God get pushed to the side. Then we find ourselves drifting. Kind of like when we are driving in fog, we drift over the center line or over the white line and if we don’t notice our mistake quickly enough, we might find ourselves going off the road or crashing.

Many of us have busy lives. We have children that are in sports, a house to keep clean, meals to cook, organizations that we belong to, and numerous other tasks that take up every minute of every day. In the late night hours when we are still up trying to get laundry done when we should have been in bed an hour ago and we see the hours of sleep dwindling, we sometimes wish for just one more hour in the day. Just adding a few minutes into your schedule or taking advantage of the minutes you have can make a big difference in your connection with God. Choosing God first thing in the morning is one way to help “lift the fog” of your life by reading the Bible when you first get up in the morning. Next, pray and talk to the Lord while you are in the car. These minutes while you are driving are minutes that you can spend with Him. These little things can help you see the Son again.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
