I awoke to a warning beep on my cell phone. Dense Fog Advisory. So, naturally when I hopped in my car to head for work I sent up a prayer for me to arrive safely, and also for any of my friends out on the roads. Even still, my hands gripped the wheel a bit more firmly. I couldn’t see more than two cars ahead of me, and my breath began to quicken as the muscles in my shoulders tightened.
Then a small voice told me, “That’s all you need to see. Trust me for the rest.”
As I drove, cars slowly came into view as well as directional signs- speed, curve, stop. All along the way, I still received guidance. Is this not an example of our life? Truth be told, I had plenty of visibility. In fact, when I played back the video on my cell phone I thought. “Wow, It’s not as foggy as I thought!”
Doesn’t that describe our lives? God sees all, yet we only see now, and a bit of the past fogged by our memories in our rear view mirror. I think at times He envelops us in uncertainty so we can learn to slow down, trust and only see what He needs us to see at that given moment. Otherwise we may become distracted, or too overconfident of our own abilities.
Who will you trust to navigate you through the fog today?
Where Did You Find God Today? 
This is so amazing. I’ve just read your blog post, several hours after replying to your response to my blog last week. God is really speaking to one or both of us about slowing down… being “still and know that He is God.”
Great post, Julie…great instruction. and yes, Lord, after the trip to Longview in the downpour on Monday and the trip back today with an ailing car…I hear You!
I did slow down, and with Your help, I will be still before You.

Sorry I missed you at the lecture in Longview Monday night March 2….I was looking for you. They had about 90 folks there and I sold quite a few books.

Loved the post. “Uncertainty so we learn to slow down.” We will remember that.
