The other morning, as I was getting up, the weather guy on the radio was telling me what I did not want to hear. No, I am not talking about that four letter S word, you know, the white stuff that has been falling like crazy from the sky, lately. I am talking about the three letter F word, fog. I am not a fan of fog, but as I was on my way to work, I didn't see much of it until I got closer to the city. Then suddenly I noticed it. It was there; it was about fifteen feet in the air, part way up the trees. It was beautiful.
The fog I feared simply led me to see my Heavenly Father in a very special way. It was as if He was covering me, not blinding my way, but simply there, hovering above, as far as I could see. I could feel his presence.
Lately, my life seems to have been turned upside down, or maybe I am the one upside down and I just don't know it. Either way, I am not sure which way is up. The other night, a dear friend reminded me that things are not always as they seem. Just because we feel one way, does not mean that those feelings represent the reality of the situation. What I have been reminded of is the need to trust God to show me the way. It is not always an easy thing to do, but I know He is with me. He is hovering over me, whether I can feel His presence or not.
Psalm 143:7-9 says, "Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
The fog the other morning was like a blanket of love covering me. I am not alone. I know my Heavenly Father is always with me. I am loved. Perhaps I am right side up after all.
