Heavy Fog

Summer has turned to fall here in Lima, Peru, & winter will be here soon.

Fall in Lima means heavy fog. Every day @ 6:00 AM, as the first morning light appears in Lima, it is impossible to even see across the street because of the heavy fog blanket which covers much of the city. Last week when Dorcas & I travelled to Florida for a few days, our outbound flight from Lima to Miami was delayed by 6 hours because of heavy fog at the airport. Every single flight was delayed or cancelled, & thousands of travellers spent several additional hours at the airport, sleeping on the floor or slowly nursing a Peruvian coffee @ the Food Court.

Fog can also cover our lives & our ministries.

Is there a heavy, fog-like canvas that is covering you or your ministry right now? How does the fog present itself? Is the fog financial in nature? Relational? Cultural? Denominational? Spiritual? What is this fog preventing you from doing in your life or in your church or in your ministry? At the Lima airport, the fog prevented us from travelling & reaching our destination. What is the fog that blankets you or your ministry, & what type of destination is it preventing you from reaching?

Fall is the season of fog here in Lima. We all have seasons of fog in our lives & ministries. If now is a season of fog for you or your ministry, then pray that God lifts it from you & allows you to reach your ministerial destination. Habakkuk 3:4 (NIV) tells us that God's "splendor was like the sunrise ...." His splendor, like the sunrise, is just what you need to burn away the fog that blankets your life or your ministry today.
