To See Beyond The Fog -part 2

It's been awhile since my last couple of posts. I now have a job and I'm having to re-learn juggling my time. As well as, getting my physical strength to work for me. I haven't worked outside of the home for many years. I still have my website business and, if I was as active as I should be - I wouldn't be working this other necessarily. I also have another app. out there, so will see what turns up.


I wanted to do a part two of my last post as I felt like something more could be added. So the past couple days (week) I've been searching my thoughts and heart as to what to write. I'm hoping it all makes, at least some sense too those who are reading.


As in my last post of June 1, - To See Beyond The Fog. The fog is starting to move out, as we seek the Lord and acknowledge that our prayers are being answered.

It's interesting to me, how we, get so focused on ourselves and situations around us. We can't see for the fog. We take our eyes off the Lord and as a result we don't always see clearly the answers we’re seeking. Sometimes the hurdles we face - are things we placed there ourselves. “Sometimes things just happen.” We make things harder than they should be; and don’t always do what we should do. We try to get through on our own abilities failing miserably in the process. We can be stubborn all the while trying to be in control. Even if it feels as though we're “just” doing something. We lack the patience needed to allow God do what He does best. In reality we delay moving forward. It is that free will God has given us - and God being the gentleman that He is, we slow up things. :)  I don't believe it to be necessarily bad I think we need to do some house cleaning to mature. To be frank we are learning some important lessons maybe that we need to learn or be free of past issues. Either way I believe God in His wisdom is preparing us for what He has prepared for us to do.

We seek the Lord for many different reasons through His word and in prayer. It’s important that we listen carefully and understand what we are reading. I would suggest reading all of 2 Peter 1 - but looking at verse 20  it states - [Yet] first [you must] understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is [a matter] of any personal or private or special interpretation (loosening, solving). AMP 

Isaiah 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. (I think we forget this, 😊

What are some of the things we seek? Maybe a job, the sale of a house, physical, even inter-healing from the past? What if it’s for direction on your journey, maybe answers for all the above? Possibly wisdom with a problem that doesn't seem to go. I imagine the list could go on and on.  But how about when we don’t seem to receive the answers we are seeking, what then? I think sometimes we tend to complicate matters and start adding to that list. Causing us needless stress becoming overwhelmed or at times feeling disparate. It’s happened to me and it can be detrimental for you and your spiritual growth.

Let's not give the enemy any foot hold to do his work!

And above all; don’t lose heart –all is not lost. The all may not be what you are thinking it to be.
The all is what God himself knows to be important for your growth. Your walk to help you on this journey called life, and what He has called (purposed) us to do.

So wake up from the sleep – the fog is being lifted.

Ephesians 5:14-16 Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. 

No more pity parties . . Being still and waiting on the Lord doesn’t mean to do nothing... 15,16 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. We have seen before to be still and wait on the LORD - Psalm 37:7, but that doesn't mean doing things your way as you wait - but seek Him patiently, be in the word and there are things you can do as you're still. Though not to sound like a broken record here.  .  .

To do nothing is simply what it means, “doing nothing”.  Clarifying, and this is the take I will use here, sometimes for the fog - we don't see that we are going by our own thoughts. We try to fix something with what we know - maybe it worked before, when all the while needing to be still, seeking the Lord through what ever you are going through. We grow and learn some patience and get sone answers with insight. Overtime, as we are focusing on Lord and not the problems, we gain something valuable in His presence. Not everything is necessarily the same and discernment is sometimes crucial. It might not always be the answer you are you are seeking for but His answers are always the best.

In verse 17 of the same chapter in Ephesians tells us; So then do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is. To do this you have to trust the Lord in all things, don’t worry. He supplies our very needs. 1 Timothy 6:8, And if we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.

Many may say “I need the strength to go on.” He will supply this too. . . He is the one thing we can count on.

May you hear God’s voice;
In your heart.
Know His touch;
In your life.
And, feel His love
In each new day.
