When The Fog Lifts

Question to think about: Have you invited the presence of God into your day?

It is a foggy morning.
Visibility is reduced on the roads.
When the fog lifts the day is forecasted to be sunny and clear.
The view changes when the fog lifts.

When we do not seek God, we live in a spiritual fog. Christ came that we would see more.

John wrote about the disciple's lack of understanding. Their were those who resited and refused to see how Christ changed their view of God. They had lived their Jewish faith generation after generation. It was difficult to see that Christ did not take away their faith in God, but completed their faith:

Many among his disciples heard this and said, "This is tough teaching, too tough to swallow." Jesus sensed that his disciples were having a hard time with this and said, "Does this throw you completely? What would happen if you saw the Son of Man ascending to where he came from? The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don't make anything happen. Every word I've spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making. But some of you are resisting, refusing to have any part in this." (Jesus knew from the start that some weren't going to risk themselves with him. He knew also who would betray him.) He went on to say, "This is why I told you earlier that no one is capable of coming to me on his own. You get to me only as a gift from the Father."
John 6: 60-65, The Message)

Stop.
Stop resisting.
Stop refusing.
Seek God.
What does God want you to see today?
Let the spiritual fog lift.
Broaden your perspective of life today through the life-making Spirit-word.

Learning with you to see more when the fog lifts,
Kerrie
