I Can See Clearly Now

1 Corinthians 13:12 – “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.”
     If you live in Georgia and are an early riser like me, then you know that for the past few days we have been inundated with a thick, unrelenting fog bank that has crept up during the night and lingers through much of the morning. It is eerie to watch as the low hanging clouds make their way down the streets and over the manicured lawns with a stealthy quiet that might remind one of how the angel of death came upon all of the first born of Egypt in the time of Moses.
     One can barely see the street lights or your hand in front of your own face when the fog billows over the surface of the street. Often without warning you will stumble upon someone who seems to appear out of nowhere, when all along they have been approaching from a distance that you cannot discern. Everything around us is dim and unfocused.
Today’s scripture reminds us that we live a similar ‘dim’ existence and often stumble around in the ‘fog’ of life; but rest assured, just as the sunlight of day pierces and burns off the fog, the light of the world, Jesus will pierce through the darkness and the fog that surrounds us. We will no longer stumble and strain to make our way; but see clearly what paths to take. All in his timing and all under the direction of the Holy Spirit we will be awakened. All things will be made clear and discernable.
     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a victoriously GREAT day! Be blessed! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
