Living by faith in this fallen world can sometimes be like walking through a fog, where you can’t see where you’re going. You want to believe that God is with you on your journey, but you can’t seem to find Him while challenges such as sadness, shame, doubts, and confusion obscure your vision. Jesus Christ shared breakfast on a beach with His disciples after His resurrection, and the story of that morning reveals that God sometimes shows up in unexpected ways – breaking through the fog of ordinary life with surprising insights. But you must Acknowledge the fog around you. Just as Jesus’ disciples were caught up in a fog of grief (after his death on the cross), you, too, will always be struggling with some kind of fog surrounding you because the sin in this world obscures the way God originally intended it to be. Face the reality of the fog around you, and be honest with God about it. Admit the reality of your situation if you’re: struggling with sorrow about unanswered prayers, confused about something you’d like to believe but have doubts, discouraged by shame you feel because of your mistakes, exhausted from trying to reach a goal that keeps eluding you, or wanting to skip church because of the difficult people there. Once you face the fog, you can start the process of breaking through it and that comes only with faith in Jesus Christ.....
