Fog That’s Lifted by the Son

By Denise Ferrell

“Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away….”  (Hosea 13:3a / KJV)

In a valley or low-lying area near a river, it’s not uncommon to experience early morning fog.  When dusk gives way to dawn, and the sun peeks over the horizon, it’s only a matter of time until visual clarity returns as the vapor is “burned off” by the sun.

In much the same way, we can experience a “fog” of confusion, depression, worry, sadness, or anxiety in our lives.  This fog may seem suffocating and never-ending.  It can be as hazardous as the roadways in environmental fog.  Similarly, the murkiness of spiritual “fog” can hinder our ability to see hope in the future, experience much-needed healing, or find peace of mind.

As the sun is the means of dissipating fog in the valley, so the Son is the solution we need for removing the spiritual fog in our lives.  In the midst of the fog, it’s difficult to clearly see the sun, but we know our planet’s brightest star is still on the job, faithfully shining.  Likewise, when we’re unable to see the Son working in the midst of our depression or worry, we can be assured that He is there.  We may not see the sun (or the Son) until enough of the fog is removed, but our faith tells us they are there.

Prayer:  Lord, help us remember You are always near, working all things together for good for those who love You and who are called according to Your purpose.  Amen.
