Spiritual exercise for the week of Jan. 15:
When is a fog not a fog?
When there is a heavy, low-lying fog, you can¹t see far ahead of you.
A fog covers everything, hiding almost everything. But there is
something that covers everything and does not hide, but shows,
the way ahead. God¹s love and presence covers everything
like a warm blanket, more completely than a fog.
If I said, ³The darkness will definitely hide me, the light will
become night around me,² even then the darkness isn¹t
too dark for you! ... darkness is the same as light to you! (Psalm 139:11-12).
Anyone who needs wisdom should ask God, whose very nature
is to give everyone without a second thought, without keeping score.
Wisdom will certainly be given to those who ask (James 1:5 CEB).
Wherever you are, however dense the fog, God is there!
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it (John 1:5).
PRAY:
When the way seems dark before me,
give me grace to walk trustingly:
When much is obscure to me, let me be all the more faithful
to the little that I can clearly see:
When the distant scene is clouded, let me rejoice
that at least the next step is plain.
—St. John¹s ³Let Us Pray² booklet
May you be blessed forever, Lord, for offering your hand
of love in my darkest, most lonely moment.‹Teresa of Avila
***
The King is in the house!
He is here, even in the darkest fog,
from now until forever from now!
