Driving In The Fog

On my way to Kansas City a few days ago, I got up early to attend an eight o’clock worship celebration at a dear colleague’s church. The nearly three hour drive meant I needed to leave home while the skies were yet overshadowed with blackness. This particular Sunday morning was especially foggy, and forced me to exercise caution along the interstate trail. With only a few other motorists on the road (along with the usual big rigs zooming past), it was not the most comforting drive to make alone.

As I journeyed closer to my destination and the darkness transitioned from black to gray, it was increasingly apparent the fog was slowly lifting each mile of the way. The further I drove, the brighter heaven’s canopy became until ultimately the fog dissipated and the path at last was clear. God spoke to me about my dreary experience in the night.

Life, often, is dark and dismal; and many times it is difficult for us to navigate with ease. The life lesson from my journey is plain. Consider these the next time you can’t see clearly:

1. Know with certainty where you’re headed!
2. Proceed with extreme care and caution!
3. Keep driving until the “Son” rises!

Happy trails, my brothers and sisters; and be blessed along the way! There IS a bright side somewhere.
