Jennie and I have been talking lately about our current season of life. I call it a season of fog because it feels like we’re walking through life but we can’t see very far in front of us because of the heavy fog that blankets our view.

The simple truth is we don’t know what lies ahead of us. We don’t know what tomorrow has in store. And it can be very frustrating.

Very frustrating

Especially when we face irrational situations.

Painful situations.

Frightening situations

Unfair situations.

This is why we need to see through eyes of faith in Jesus.

Faith in God our Father.

Faith in our Lord who is sovereign over all.

Who loves us beyond measure.

In Mark 4, Jesus teaches about the different soils where seed is sown. It leapt out at me tonight that the thorny soil, choked by the troubles and cares of this world, is robbed of its ability to take root and grow.

Indeed, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” ( John 10:10 ESV).

If you find yourself walking through a season of fog, take heart! Go to the Lord with your troubles. Trust Him to take care of you. Even when your situation seems confusing.

Painful.

Impossible.

Irrational.

Trust God and walk with trust through the fog.

⁵ Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
    my hope comes from him.
⁶ Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God^[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
⁸ Trust in him at all times, you people;
    pour out your hearts to him,
    for God is our refuge. – Psalm 62:5-8 (ESV)
