There’s something about a misty morning that grabs the imagination, don’t you agree? The day is stretched out ahead of you, but it’s hard to see exactly where it will lead; will it be a good one, or will it be rough sledding?
It’s almost a metaphor for life.
What are those shapes ahead? Where is this road; where does it go? It looks straight and level, but is there a curve lurking that I don’t expect?
Misty mornings make a routine day seem a little mysterious; a little adventurous. That might seem scary to some, but to me it’s more of an adventure than anything else; exciting!
Our days can be unpredictable, that’s for sure, but our destination is not. Our walk with Jesus Christ will lead us through some rough terrain, but it leads us to a glorious home.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
– Psalm 23:4-6

So aprapo it feels prophetic.
I love mist in the morning. There was some in the park across from my home this morning. God refreshes us like dew for the day ahead.
Excellent! Thanks be to God!
As a child I would walk to school across the fields barefoot through the misty and dew laden fields. It was the kind of refreshment that has never been equaled.
As with the 23rd Psalm David understood the endless dangers that the shepherd faced and the required assurance gained through drawing close to god. It is only by getting to know God that we appreciate the times where his direction has prevented real harm.
We only know a good friend through experience and sharing, the morning walk with our heavenly father deepens our understanding of how valuable he is to us everyday.
Great thought to start a new week on Don thanks.
Thanks for adding your reflections.
Beautiful metaphor, Don. Not necessarily scary – just the unknown. We can embrace it or shrink back from it. Either way, God is in control.
That’s right Susan, whatever may happen in this life, God is in ultimate control and can be counted on to work things out for the best.
