THE FOG

2

I was driving and came across a patch of fog. I slowed down, turned on my lights, and proceeded to drive. When it cleared I accelerated in speed as well as turned off my lights continuing on down the road but when I got to my desired speed a patch of fog showed up again; slowing me back down.

This fog was a distraction as well as an aggravation for it hindered me or rather slowed me down from getting to where I was going in a respectable time. As I drove down the road I begin to resent the fog, wondering actually what was its purpose and why must the fog appear this morning. Does it not have any other appointments, could it not have made an appearance after I was gone, and does it have to be so very thick.

I began to pray about the fog asking the Father to remove it out my way for it hinders my ability to see and does not allow me to proceed as I want. I begin to ask the MOST HIGH how could he allow such a nuisance when He knew I was going to be on this road attempting to get where He ask me to go. I prayed for a while as I drove down the road asking

questions while not getting any answers and eventually became frustrated that the MOST HIGH would not reveal to me why this occurrence was allowed; like the MOST HIGH owes me an answer.

As I drove down that highway still moving forward it never dawned on me the fog could have been allowed to protect me from speeding and that the MOST HIGH desired that I slow down. I begin to look at my spiritual journey, how sometimes walls are placed in my way, storms are allowed to brew, and my visibility is some what clouded. Consider fog is not a hinder rather the confirmation there is an over flow in your mist because natural fog is a result of the air not being able to hold all the moisture it has next to the ground; basically a cloud on the land. I come to understand that fog is not adversity rather life in another form and it was not allowed to hinder me rather slow me down until the appointed time that only the MOST HIGH can ordain.

So the next time you are experiencing a patch of fog if it be in the natural or the spiritual remember the MOST HIGH allowed it so take your time, apply the instruction needed, and pay attention for their is an over flow in your mist. Keep in mind the adversary will attempt to suggest you should rush through it but know as the fog lifts the reward shall be revealed in the hour the MOST HIGH has provided. Be reminded the coming of the Lord and how he too will arrive in the mist of clouds or is it fog.
