The Light That Never Fails to Safely Guide Us

Dense fog always makes me feel so isolated and cut off from my surroundings. To say that I don’t like driving in it, is a huge understatement.

It distorts and impairs my vision and somehow even my sense of direction. I feel like I can’t see what’s coming in enough time to engage a strategic defense should something be in my way that would cause an accident.

I have to slow down and search for the lines on the road that will keep me safely in my lane as well as constantly scanning for traffic. The only things that keep me driving in such conditions is knowing that the roads haven’t disappeared just because I can’t see them and being able to rely on my GPS to talk me through the fog. I have confidence that the thirty designated satellites orbiting the earth are doing their job.

I think some of life’s troubles come upon us like rapidly rolling fog. They engulf us in a matter of seconds…sometimes without warning. We are disoriented and afraid that we won’t be able to navigate ourselves or our family to safety. We worry about what’s going to hit us in our vulnerable state. Some of us may even come to a complete stop, being paralyzed by the inability to know what’s coming next.

But God is in His Heaven and there is no amount of fog that hampers His view. Like the stars in the sky, He is always there whether we see Him or not. He clearly knows what we need and His willingness and ability to always help us through this life is more dependable than every bit of technology this world has to offer. 

His voice calls to us and gives instruction and hope and clarity in these uncertain times. If we listen and trust Him, He will help us safely maneuver through life’s challenges.

Isaiah testified of this when he proclaimed:

“Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, The Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”

May we all listen for and hear the voice of the Lord as it pierces through the densest of brain fog and the darkest hours of need. He is forever with us providing hope and help and Light from on high.  Always!
