Out of the Fog

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Psalm 40:2 NIV

Fog enveloped my house, the street was barely visible. In fact, my back yard even had fog in it which is a rarity. Our little dog was barely visible as she traipsed around the backyard. I was grateful I didn't have to be out on the roads driving early.



There are times when I've felt fogged in. I wonder why things aren't progressing they way I like. Or someone  in the family keeps getting sick and it seems like the illness just won't leave our house. Day care business drops to just barely enough money to pay the bills. Life is stuck.

Fog this time of year can even be harder to penetrate. There are things we'd like to be doing, but are unable to do. The traditions we once had have to be put aside. Someone we love won't be with us to celebrate.

How do we get out of this fog? "Remember allow extra time and use your low beams," the news-reporters remind us .

Sometimes the only way to get out of the fog is to allow the time to get through whatever is holding you back, and use the light of the one who can get us through all things. He can pull us out and give us a firm place to stand.
