A couple of weeks ago, me and a few family members went to a chicken sale. Yes, a chicken sale. Well, we did really good with our sales and stuff. However, on our way home we ran into a bit of fog. Well, now that I think about it, that's an understatement. It was a bunch of fog. This huge blanket of fog was also on a mountain that I'm not too familiar with, so that in itself made me quite uneasy. But, that's besides the point. Finally, we toppped the mountain and the fog cleared causing me to breath a sigh of relief. However, as we travelled down the mountain, I looked a little ahead and saw a deer crossing the road. Don't worry. The deer made it, and we didn't even come close to hitting it. But, it made me think. What would have happened if that fog on the other side of the mountain hadn't have been there? Here I was really wanting to hurry and get home while complaining about how terrible and unnessesary the fog was. However, it could have been there to protect us from the dangers we could have faced by hitting the deer. The fog had slowed us down just enough to avoid a collision. Well, have you ever wondered what God has sent our way that has kept us out of trouble, and all we have done is saw the bad?
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
-Ecclesiastes 3:1
Sometimes we get in such a hurry to do or go somewhere. Then all of a sudden something comes up to hender us from the task. It may frustrate us and make us wonder why. Well, do you ever think that this thing that you consider a burden could really be a blessing? Sometimes, God will send us through vallys because there very well could be a danger (deer) up ahead that he's protecting us from. At the time, we may look at the problem and think of it as unnessesary and bothersom. But if we just stop and look ahead, we may see that it was for the best. God knows what he's doing, and he has our best interest at hand. Plus, just think how much damage that deer could do to a car!
