If you have never been in a blizzard, you might not know just how powerful it swirling snow can be.
Your vision becomes obstructed, and not just at long distances.
The familiar becomes unrecognisable to the point that you might not even notice you are walking two feet from a barn that could shelter you.
The writer of Psalms 25 was in a blizzard of the mind, facing so many difficulties that it was impossible to see things.
Not knowing where to find shelter from this storm, the writer looks to God for freedom from the problems that afflict his mind.
He knew that God had committed Himself to instructing his children.
Since He sees all things, He can give us insight into our situation when we wait on Him.
When the Lord delivers his insight (sometimes right away, sometimes after waiting for a long time), we are often surprised.
We may come to God expecting vengeance against the ones that hurt us but instead receive a reminder from the Spirit that vengeance is God’s.
Whatever our trouble is, God provides us guidance and watches over us as a parent watches over their children.
Knowing this makes the blizzard a lot less scary.
