Two weeks ago I was in the mountains with Jody. It was raining while we were there and a fog covered the mountain. As we were driving I could not see beyond the front of the car. On all sides the world was gray and void. The scope of my existence was about 10 feet. As we drove down the mountain we came out of the fog and now I could see around me the mountains, the valley and the twisting road. There was so much world around me but when I was in the fog, I could not see it. Life often feels like that with bills, work, relationships and just everyday life. It gets hard to see that there is more going on than meets the eye. Yes life is hard, but that is not all there is. We have so much more in Christ, but we must remember to look beyond the fog. How much do I miss because I focus on what is set against me and not what Christ has for me. We are a part of a bigger story and we must live in that if we are to truly experience real life, abundant life. I pray that as you read this you will look beyond just the circumstances and look at Jesus and the life he offers. I pray that for you and for myself, for I so easily forget that truth.
