Guideposts for Dark Times

He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—He is supreme in the end. From beginning to end He’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is He, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in Him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms—get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of His death, His blood that poured down from the cross.

Colossians 1:18-20 MSG

This morning began with thick fog. When I woke up and looked out my bedroom window I could barely make out the trees across the street. But, by mid-morning the fog gave way to beautiful clear blue autumn skies. 

Yesterday, my husband and I were talking about the current state of affairs in our state, our nation and the world. He made a comment that I think most of us have at least thought in these confusing times. "I just don't understand what God is doing right now." He's right. We are living in a time of fog, a time of confusion,  a time of strife,  a time of sin abounding, a time of darkness. It's easy to be frustrated when we can't clearly see what God is doing or why He is allowing certain things to take place. In times when we can't clearly see, we have to rely on guideposts that we've established in our lives to get us through the dark times.  (Join me for the rest of this post on Sunday, November 1st  at Woman to Woman Ministries, where each Sunday I share a bit of Sunday Soul Food!)
