One afternoon when I was in Lyon France in June 2004, one of the men in my evening group looked eastward and said, “I can see the mountain. It will rain tomorrow.” He was referring to Mont Blanc the highest mountain in Europe. Mont Blanc is 145 miles/231km from Lyon. Most of the time it is not visible in Lyon due to cloud cover, so when the sky is clear enough to see the mountain, the people expect to have rain the next day. By the way, it rained the next day.

There can be a variety of things that cloud our sight spiritually and in regards to seeing the next step or which step to take. Confusion can set in making it feel like we are in a fog. Issues like money problems, relationship problems, sin, mistakes, worry, anxiety can make things seem fuzzy.
The good news is that Jesus is eternal. He exists beyond time. He created time for us to live in but he is not bound by time. He is with us in the here and now while at the same time, he is in our future. Even better news, he has already told us that he loves us.
So how can we clear our minds of the fog and receive guidance from Jesus?

We can come to him and confess to him whatever the issue is. He already knows, so it won’t be a news flash to him. If we have messed up, we can confess to Jesus. If we are confused, we can give it to him. If we are worried, we can give it to him.
Sometimes there can be different options and we want guidance. I have experienced that myself recently in regards to how to publish my books I have been working on. I prayed about it, and Jesus brought someone across my path that would get my attention. I have other questions. so I set up a coffee appointment with my friend Robb who understands business matters better than I do.
We do not live independent of others as we journey on the Christian walk. We have Jesus. We have the Holy Spirit. We also have fellow Christians. Jesus has blessed us with being part of Christian communities and access to wise counsel.
We can see clearly past the fog.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
You mean I can live a reverent and satisfying life without being on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram?😉
Yes we don’t need social media but maybe blogging is essential 😂
Beautifully said. Thank you for the eloquent reminder that no matter how thick the fog is, our Beacon of light is eternal. Needed this today.
Thank you. Jesus is our light no matter our circumstance
So thankful we have the Holy Spirit to help us and like you said He sends the right people and resources our way. 🤗
God is always at work little sister. How are you feeling?
I’m coming along and my leg is getting better (less swelling). I don’t go back to the doctor til August. Thank you for the prayers.
Good that you are making progress
In reading your post I was reminded of an old song we used to sing, “open my eyes Lord, I want to see Jesus”. Thank you for posting. B Blessed today!
That is a wonderful song
Amen!
