Foggy Path

Written by: Mark Culp
Have you ever had to drive in the fog? One of those dense fogs where you’ve had to drive way below the posted speed limit or you stood a good chance of crashing into something? I’ve had to do this on a number of occasions and I can tell you it can get pretty nerve wracking, especially if I was in a hurry to get where I was going.
I remember a particular time when I was driving on a road I had never driven on, and the twists and turns seemed to come out of nowhere. If not for my pressing engagement, I would have waited for the fog to lift on it’s own.
Many times in my life I’ve had to walk into situations where the path in front of me seemed to be covered in “dense fog”. It would be frustrating to me and I would ignore the “fog” and end up “stubbing my toe” with something I would say or do. It was hard for me to take things slow but eventually I learned a different way.
I have learned that God’s word can be like a lamp for my feet and a light for my path (Psalm 119:105). His word can illuminate obstacles that need my attention and light up pitfalls that I would most likely fall into. His word is the main vehicle by which He speaks to me. If while reading His word, I come to a portion that is confusing to me, I can readily ask Him, the Author, to give me light on the meaning.
I want to encourage you to make time to get in and digest God’s word. You may find that the “fog” you have been stumbling around in, has lifted.

I’m currently 51 years old and live in Saline with my wife Melinda. We each have 2 children, and together we have 12 grandchildren (including 1 still in the “oven”). I have walked through various hardships in life and it’s my prayer and desire to share some of the things I’ve learned walking through these hardships. I pray that God uses something in what I share to spark in you a thought that may have needed to be lit. I don’t presume to have it all worked out, and much of what you will read is currently being worked out in my own life. I would like to thank my precious Lord for this “voice” and pray that what I say will bring honor to Him. – Mark
