Fog danced throughout the rolling hills. Gray floating above the winding road. The vehicle navigating in and out of visibility.
I am driving. As we poke in and out of the gray my eyes fixed ahead. Every time visibility decreases I feel a little unsure. However, even in the fog, the haze I can still see the white lines to my right and the yellow lines to my left. They are guiding. Guiding me out of every gray place. While I can’t see far in front of me I have to trust that the road and its lines will bring me to my destination safely.
Roads were designed for our safety, protection. Roads are a part of every journey.
Our heavenly Father gave us Jesus, His son. Jesus, our road leading us Home. Leading us in the dark and light places. The lines of yellow and white, yes they are given to us too. The Holy Spirit, guiding us, keeping us on the path, the road Home.
Every time you find yourself in the fog. Every time the gray surrounds are your eyes focused on the Road? Are you trusting the Road to lead you? Do you allow the Lines to protect you, comfort you on the path?
Do not fear the fog. God will not pull the Road, His Son from under you. Jesus is there, always there even in the fog.

John 14:15-18 “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” NIV
Hebrews 2:24-25 But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. NLT
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. ESV
Another great word picture, Melissa. Much of life is fog. I don’t know what God has planned for my life – what detours I will encounter. Sure have had plenty so far in my life. But I am confident that He does have a road for me to walk on and He will guide me as I walk hand in hand with Him and trust Him.
