Fog

I love the quiet blanket of misty white air. We don't see it often in Texas. So when it does come it is a treat.

But not pretty if it is the state of mind. On a clear day you can see for miles, but fog clouds the vision.

In the mind, it distracts your focus. Like a ship drifting on a foggy ocean, you can't get your bearings. The sun, moon, and stars disappear.

So too is our spirit when we allow the fog of the world to dull our spiritual eyes and ears.

How does that happen?

Ezekiel 12:2
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

Rebellion is one clue. How are you doing with authorities? Are you allowing rebellion to exist in your house? Your heart?

Spend time in the Word and in the Presence of the Lord. He is salve to the eyes and can set your ears to hear His small voice.

The church of Laodicea in Revelation was in a fog. Neither hot or cold they were lukewarm.

¹⁴And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

¹⁵I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

¹⁶So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

¹⁷Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

¹⁸I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

¹⁹As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

²⁰Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

²¹To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

²²He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

It is time to come out of the spiritual fog. Pray for ears that hear and eyes that see and willing hearts to obey.
