In the early 1980's, I was asked to go to Cumberland, Maryland to minister
in song, along with others, at a little church on Eastern Avenue.
The service was conducted beautifully by the Holy Spirit and souls
were greatly touched. As we were preparing for the closing
prayer, I requested that the church pray for me for my trip back
home, which at that time was about 65 miles away.
I called to their attention that the fog was always very heavy on
Polish Mountain just east of Cumberland. Being that I was to
travel home that way I wanted prayer for safety and clear roads.
They agreed and of course prayed.
As I left the church, I wondered what I might encounter as I would
climb Polish Mountain. Never-the-less, I was convinced that
God would have His protecting hand involved in my short 65 mile trip
home.
As I began climbing the mountain, I heard the truckers on the CB Radio
talking about how the fog was so bad on the upper half of Polish Mountain.
I considered that God can change things and the truckers may not
even notice.
As I climbed this mountain, I began seeing wisps of fog. The fog
continued to get worse. It thickened making it nearly impossible
to see past front bumper. "Come on Lord," I thought, "You have
controlled the storm Mark 4:39. I know you can take care of a
little fog."
Suddenly, the fog dissipated until there was no fog in front of my car.
Praising the Lord for His power and authority, I looked around me
and realized something magnificent. While there was no fog on the
road in front of my car, there was, in fact, fog above my car, fog at
the right shoulder and across the highway, and fog at the right shoulder
and beyond.
As I pondered this, the fog was here as usual, but He made a tunnel
through it so that I could have clear roads to travel on.
God truly is the true Master of our weather and He is still the ruler
of all creation.
Praise be to the Most High God.
