Misty Mornings are temporary

 

Misty mornings are temporary

Jeremiah 32:27- Behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh , is there anything too hard for me?

 

 Have you ever felt clueless like nothing is going according to your plan? Have you ever felt that there is no clear path and you cannot see a way ahead of you? Well you are not alone. In fact  a lot of people are on a daily basis going through some form of struggle, some are going through health issues, marital issues, depression, anxiety and many other personal issues. but we have this hope that God cares, He understands the pain that we go through each and every day and He is inviting us all to give Him a chance . I wanted to share my story and I hope you will be blessed with this testimony of how God spoke to me in my time of confusion and need.

One thing that I have done consistently is to have my personal time with God each morning.  I enjoy and I feel that God speaks to me and counsels me during this time. I take time to reflect on my actions  and ask God to help me be a better person. This time is when God pin points my weaknesses and my strengths. I get strength and encouragement and this is by all means is the best part of the day for me.

This particular morning I felt sad, defeated and overwhelmed. I had this feeling of not having a clear path for my career, as if there was no way to establishing a career that I can finally settle and thrive in. I believed God had blessed me with my current job and finally I could enjoy the benefits of my studies.  Honestly speaking before God blessed  me with my then job , I had completely written off ever working in Human Resources, I had told myself this was indeed a waste of time and money, I was left with no job and a hefty student loan.

 During my walk on this day I tried to  sing a a few songs to encourage myself , I tried to affirm myself in the hope that the  anxiety that I was feeling would disappear, but it became hard for me to keep my tears down . I felt so hopeless  and clueless, I said to God, I cant see a path, I cant see a way, what is happening ? what is your plan and purpose for me? I thought we had this figured out!

 As I lifted my eyes up to heaven saying God where are you ? I realised that morning the sky was grey and dark covered with mist.  The blue sky bright sky  that I always look forward to, the beautiful white clouds could not be seen and it was extremely gloomy and unpleasant.

 At that moment I heard God speak to me, He said today is misty does it mean that the sky does not exist? The fact that you cannot see the sun today does it mean its not there? The fact that you cannot see the stars does it mean they cease to exist.  At that moment I knew God was in my presence, I knew God was speaking to my spirit.  

 The fact that I could not see a path did  not mean it is was not there , It is merely waiting for the right moment, the right environment.  It's a myth that a foggy morning cannot lead to a perfect sunny day. In fact, clear sky is a prerequisite for formation of fog. No matter what challenges one is facing Its  guaranteed 100% that the sun will shine, Just like the fog its not permanent its temporary and so are our trials and challenges.

 This is the  the same with our situations, we might not see the path clearly because it is blurry, foggy and misty but be assured that the sun will shine and it will get clearer. The Bible defines mist as something that appears for a little while and then vanishes. This is the same with our challenges/troubles and trials, they appear for a little while and then vanish and it does not mean that you will not have trials again, but when the sun appears it is a perfect reminder that things will get better again. So when the trials come again after the sun be encouraged that the sun will shine again no matter the challenges that we are going through can rest assure that God is in control and He will make it shine bright like the sun.

 

Prayer:

Father thank you for the misty days for indeed the sun will appear. Help us to know that no matter what comes our way, no matter what challenges we face, the sun will shine again for misty mornings are temporary. In Jesus name.

Amen
