The other day we had some fog around our town.  As I was driving I realized that our Christian life is much like a foggy day.  While we wish we could always see down to our destination, we usually can only see but just a little ways before us or around us, beyond that we do not know what the future holds.  Yes, we know the final destination, but the path is often not visible only that which is right before us.

Only that which we can see is all that should concern our minds.  We have tendency to try mapping out distant paths, however, they may often change before we even get there.  This is where we are to learn to trust God that He has it all laid out in front of us, even though we do not see it, we are to trust in Him, as He knows what the best path is and He is continually building the proper path if we will let Him.

So, look around, see what you can see.  This is where our actions work, it is what we do here in the place we can see that directs our path to what we do not see.  In the picture above, the road is seen for a short distance, but there is enough that we can see where to drive and stay safe. If we follow the road, God will reveal more road beyond what we can see.  If we follow a wrong action and stray off the road, we will not see what God had planned ahead and will find ourselves striving to get back on the road, to the sure path ahead.

It is the same in our Christian life, there are people in our lives today that need prayer, instruction, encouragement and other forms of help or even simply some seed sown into their lives. Maybe there are people around us ready to help us also if we will notice the offer.  We may not see the road ahead for them or us, we trust in God for the future.

It is the Now where we live and work.  Let us see clearly that which is around us and let God map the road ahead of us!
