Driving in the fog at night makes you glad to be in the company of others. Headlights reach out like two-pronged forks stabbing at the darkness. Taillights follow one another in single file, fading as they go, each driver more courteous to others than when navigating in clarity, when he or she might rather own the road. It is the darkness and fog that make us so glad not to be alone. The challenge is to be sure that those we follow are leading us well, and to be aware that others follow us, so we can lead them well. This life is like fog at night, and only the sun can burn it away.
God is that sun, and he has made this foggy life for developing our navigation, following, and leading skills. We should not try to navigate without following God and seeking the company of others who follow him. Jesus said, “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.”
