It was really strange the other day driving down that road knowing what I could not see. Locals know this as where 956 ends in Maryland near the rocket center. There’s a big mountain behind that fog. Without the fog, you would see a mountain at least 3/4 the way up that photo. With the fog, you could not see it. I know the mountain is there. If someone was driving on that road for the first time, they would not know it.
It is a lot like the difference between knowing God is near and not knowing He is near. Can I see Him every second of every day? Of course not. Can people make an argument that they can? Sure. They claim they can see Him in a raindrop, in a falling leaf, etc. That does not always suffice for me. When things are crashing down around me and when I do not see or feel Him, I must remind myself that regardless of what I see or feel, like that mountain, He is definitely there. In those times, all I can do is cry out to Him and ask Him to help me hang in there until I can clearly see Him again.
