How could such a vast and breathtaking natural treasure escape our notice? Because the entire summit was covered in a thick fog.
When we endeavour to understand the Bible, there are instances when we could feel "in a fog." We struggle and strain, but we are unable to recognise the lovely truths that are contained in the passage. It might even appear that God is hiding things from us.
Remember that we always require the enlightening assistance of the Holy Spirit. It is His enemy, not God, who seeks to prevent us from understanding the magnificent truths of Scripture. The devil is aware that we cannot apply what we do not understand.
The psalmist prayed, "Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law" (Ps. 119:18), and we must do the same. The Holy Spirit will remove the mist so that we can clearly perceive the wonderful truths contained in God's Word as we seek His guidance each day.
We won't be able to understand God's Word without the illumination of the Holy Spirit. Open my eyes so I can see the glimpses of truth you have for me, and give me the magnificent key that will unlock the lock and release me.
