Walking In The Mist

Gen 2:6
(6) But there went up from the earth a mist and watered all the face of the ground.

All through scripture, RAIN is synonymous with the blessings of God. He tells us that if we turn from Him, He could withhold the rain from our land - or our lives. That affects everything, doesn't it. Without rain, everything dries up, withers, and eventually dies.

In the beginning, there was no rain. Interesting, that. If we continually walk in the Presence of God, there is a MIST that surrounds us, permeating everything. It's only when we visit the dry places that we need to see that rain coming.

Certainly, it can be argued that the mist is gone and we all visit the dry places from time to time. I do. But this verse tells me that there was once a place - and is coming a place - that we will continually walk in the blessings of God, and that looking forward to the next rain will no longer be necessary.
