The Morning Fog | Finding Faith

On my way to New York yesterday morning and as we were driving through Kentucky & West Virginia, we drove through some pretty intense fog. These are a few thoughts I had as we were driving.


It’s a weird feeling when you can’t see through the fog to see what’s just ahead of you.

It’s so dark. And it makes you feel

Isolated.

Alone.

Lost.

But then, a light appears. Soft at first, then

brighter

and brighter

until you’re completely surrounded by its comfort and warmth.

And you realize that you were never alone, the sun was there the whole time. You simply did not see it! Oh what little faith we have! Oh how the cruel fog obscures, hiding the truth from you!

It was not until the fog cleared that you found Truth's radiant glow surrounding you,

warming you,

soothing your heart,

causing faith to leap forth from within your soul.

And you know that you are loved.

The morning sun’s a new husband

            leaping from his honeymoon bed,

The daybreaking sun an athlete

            racing to the tape.

That’s how God’s Word vaults across the skies

            from sunrise to sunset,

Melting ice, scorching deserts,

            warming hearts to faith.

Psalm 19:4-6 // The Message
