This morning the fog was heavy in our valley. The mountains were hidden behind the mist and it was hard to see around the next corner. The way ahead was dark and dreary.
A short time later, however, the sun came up and burned away the mist. Light chased away the darkness and our valley was transformed into a beautiful winter wonderland.
Life can seem this way sometimes. Your past mistakes hem you in on every side and guilt presses down on your soul. God seems hidden from view and you can’t see around your own sins to find your way into the future. You feel lost, stumbling along in the dark, with no clear path forward.
But if you will just reach out and grasp by faith the nail-scarred hand of He who gave His life for you, Jesus will sweep “…away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist.” Isaiah 44:22 NIV.
He is always there, even when you can’t see Him, waiting for you to call out His name. When you do your world will be transformed. He will “turn the darkness into light…and make the rough places smooth.” Isaiah 42:16. “Then you will go on your way in safety and your foot will not stumble.” Proverbs 3:23.
As we get ready to start a new week, let go of the mistakes of yesterday and grab hold of Jesus’ hand. Put your trust in Him today and let Him lead you through the mist safely into a brighter tomorrow.
God bless!
