Jesus Through The Fog

Life is an endless array of new experiences that come our way whether we want to or not. The hope is that we can navigate our life in a fog and pray we can maintain a good path, one led by Jesus. We may not truly know what tomorrow will bring, but we still have the son to guide us. Faith in Christ to navigate the uncertainty and foggy conditions of life is so important.

When I was in the military we learned about the fog of war “is the uncertainty in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations. The term seeks to capture the uncertainty regarding one’s own capability, adversary capability, and adversary intent during an engagement, operation, or campaign.” (Wikipedia) Life is very much the same way, and when it’s full of uncertainty all we can do is attempt to navigate the best we can. As we find our way through the blinding clouds we must understand that not everything we come across is a blessing. We are taught to test these things, 1 John 4:1“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”  The darkness always seems different then the day, the objects we think we know bend and contort to different shapes. No matter the fog, the darkness, or any situation you may find yourself, look to the sky because there is always hope in Jesus Christ. There is no darkness to dark, no fog that is too think that will keep Jesus from you. You are saved by the blood, cleansed by perfect grace and love, and you weren’t given a spirit of fear, but one of courage. The son will always burn away the fog to make things clear, sometimes, we just have to be patient.
