Sept. 20, 2013
I was driving early one morning. The cool air had mixed
with the warm earth, creating a mist very thick and heavy. I saw just a few car
lengths in front of me and only a headlight or two behind. Little traffic littered the road and I felt the isolation and quiet of the foggy morning seep inside my soul. God spoke
into that stillness, reminding me that I live my life in this way: seeing only
the immediate circumstances I’m experiencing and nothing much else.
I arrived at my destination at peace, God having spoken to
me of the future He had in store.
During the church service, I heard God’s Word in the message and sang
His praises during the music worship time. The isolation and quiet I
experienced during the drive was replaced with the companionship of Christ and
my fellow believers. Yet the
stillness remained. I remind myself that I can hear God best when I focus on
Him in the midst of my busy, traffic-filled life and try to listen. And when I
feel alone and isolated in the fog of my circumstances, I will find He stays
with me each step of the way.
Are you in chaotic or foggy circumstances right now? What is
God saying to you through it all? Please share too!
