In the distance

I realized I was climbing Afton mountain in the foggy dark morning last Sunday about halfway up. I could see the car in front of me fine one second then all of a sudden the lights on either side of the road were all I could make out. I turned my high beams on to try and pierce the fog so I could see better.

I was in the fog for about 15-20 minutes. I had been going 60-70 now I'm crawling along doing 30, maybe 40. As I was on the mountain praying for the fog to lift there was revelation instantly that Even when we can't see the road ahead God sets out lights on either side to guide us when we pay attention.

In the story of Lots wife we learn the importance of not looking back. She looked back and turned to a pillar of salt. Why would she turn back? What was she searching for behind her that was more important than what was in front of her? Are you looking back instead of forging ahead?
