"Faith is like radar that sees through the fog. "
Corrie Ten Boom, Tramp for the Lord
I find this as a descriptive analogy. Why? Turn on your “mass-merizing” box, your radio and spread your paper to hear a sound of crashing, a sound of banging and high pitched sound of scratching. Do you see a deadly harvest of collisions between individuals, families, societies, nations, countries and two kingdoms? Can you hear the crying of those who are disoriented?
Why is this happening? We all have heard an expression: “the world has gone mad.” That might be the case, but what is more certain is that the world has gone blind. Yes, blind.
Our kind, the human kind lives and operates in the state of perpetual blindness, perpetual fog. This is not a weather phenomenon or pollution factor. I am talking about spiritual fog and a massive lack of proper equipment needed to counter it: the faith.
Faith in what? Faith in whom? In our own ability to find a way? Wouldn’t we be out of it by now? When stuck in a dense fog having a compass can save a day. Having radar is much better as you can see when your eyes are useless. Even better is to have a special guide who can lead you out because he can see when you cannot and he knows the terrain like a back of his hand.
I have such a guide. Strange, I did not ask for him. I thought I can manage, but I was walking in circles. Loosing my strength, loosing my time. Blinded to a breath taking sites and passing by people that I needed to talk with.
He has a name. In fact, He has many names as each one of them describes Him in a different way. He has helped many to find a way out of a total black out. He gave a hand to many leading them to the right path. Out of the fog and confusion to light and a grand perspective. He gave His hand to me also. His name is Yeshua.
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.”
John 14:6
NASB
Stretch your open hand out. Call His name. He is there. Ever coming. Ever leading. Ever saving. You cannot do it yourself. Let Him do it for you…
Will you?
