Psalm 37:23-24 AMPC ~ “The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. [24] Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.“
Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt like you couldn’t see the way forward. The fog of doubt, fear, and uncertainty loomed so thick around you that every step felt like you were stumbling, and every decision was heavy with anxiety. You searched for answers but found silence, you tried to push forward but felt stuck. You felt like your faith was being tested, but it was still all you had to hold on to. But now, the fog has lifted, and you can see clearly. The once-blurred path now feels illuminated, steady, and full of God’s purpose. But God! Now I can see, the fog is gone!
When you walked through the season of fog, the fog is where your faith deepens. It’s where God reminds you that His guidance isn’t about showing you the entire path all at once, it’s about walking step by step with Him, even when you couldn’t see, He did it that way on purpose, so that you can see clearly. Now that the fog is gone, you will understand why it was there. It may have slowed you down a little, so that you don’t miss the His lessons that He is teaching you.
Ask God to refine your focus, and to teach you how to depend on God, not on yourself. More importantly, it will allow you to realize that you were never truly lost in the first place, He just needed you to slow down a little. The fog didn’t mean you were alone; it simply meant that you need to trust that God has been with you even in the unknown. For it might be unknown to you, but you can be assured that He knows! Now, the path that you once felt was impossible now feels clear and sure, you have got your firm foot secured! And God has turned that impossible into a possible!
There is nothing as beautiful as seeing fog strung across a field, but it’s a whole other thing when you are driving, and you can barely see in front of you. But oh, how wonderful you feel when you can see clearly! Thank You God, for the gift of clarity! When the fog clears, perspective floods in. You start to see how God used what seemed like a delay as part of His perfect timing. You understand that the struggles you faced weren’t obstacles but tools in God’s hands to strengthen you. The clarity you now have is a reminder of God’s faithfulness. What once felt impossible is now a visible proof of His provision for the purpose!
Clarity brings gratitude because it allows you to recognize that God wasn’t just leading you through the fog, He was working something better and greater in you all along. Remember when the Israelites wandered in the desert. While they could not see the promised land, God could (for you see, when and what you can’t see, God has already seen it). So, when they finally entered, they were stronger, refined by their journey, and aware that it was God’s hand, not their own, that had brought them through it!
Isn’t that just how God works? He will allow you to walk through the foggy seasons to develop a faith that forces you to lean completely on Him, and to learn to take one step at a time going forward! The sky now, God has opened up the skies, parted the clouds, and He has let His light shine on the path before you. And it is in this moment, the things that have overwhelmed you has faded in the background like the fog. Can you see His handprints all over your journey?
Now as you look back, can you see that the fog wasn’t there to harm you; it was there to teach you. It forced you to trust in the unseen, to hold on to the promises of God even when you can’t see the fulfillment of those promises. The fog required you to depend on God and seek Him for guidance and to not on your own understanding.
When the fog finally lifts, you gain the gift of sight. You see how God has been with you all along the way. The detours that frustrated you were to build your faith, it was His way of protecting and redirecting your steps, so that He could keep you alive and aligned! The slow pace was His way of preparing you for your next season. These moments of silence are opportunities for you to tune your heart to His voice.
The clarity that you feel now isn’t just relief, it’s revelation. You can look back with gratitude, not just at the clear skies, but for the fog, too. Because it was in the fog that your faith grew. Take a moment to celebrate your breakthrough. God has brought you through what felt impossible. The same God that cleared the fog is the God that will continue guiding your every step. Ask yourself this question, what lessons did I learn in the fog? How did God show His faithfulness to me during that time? What can I carry forward now that I’ve made it through the rain and the fog?
Today, you can see clearly the rain and the fog is gone and God’s Hands are with you, for each and every single step! His plan and purpose remain unshakable in a shakable world! So, keep your eyes fixed on Him as you navigate through the fog (did you hear Him, “walk through it”) knowing that the same God who guided you through the rain and fog will continue to light your path forward as you as navigable
Let’s Pray:
Father Thank You! Thank You for clearing the fog and bringing me into a place of clarity and peace. I see now that You were with me every step of the way, even when I couldn’t feel or understand it. Forgive me for the times I doubted and faltered and thank You for Your patience with me. As I step forward, I ask for continued guidance and wisdom. Let me not rely on my own sight but trust in Your vision for my life. Help me to carry the lessons I learned in the fog into this season of clarity, and let my story be a testimony to Your goodness for others who need hope. Father Thank You for bringing me through I give You all the Glory for the Grace that You have shown me. Father, You were faithful when I doubted and patient when I faltered. Thank You for lighting my path and guiding me on a continuous and consistent journey even when I couldn’t see. Father, help me to trust You in every season, the rain, the fog, the foggy moments, the clear skies and the sun that is beaming through now that the rain is clear, and the fog is going. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
