Stay On The Train

"When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer." Corrie Ten Boom

 Today, I want you to take some time and visualize a scene for me, okay? So think about this; Imagine that you are about to get on a train to go somewhere, you have your ticket in hand and you are full of excitement. You eagerly show your ticket and walk onto the train, find your seat, and sit down, even more excited than you were before. You can't wait to get to your end destination. You look out the window and see the beautiful scenery pass you by, but then you go through a tunnel, and it gets dark. You can't see a thing. Now, here is where I want you to make a choice. In the darkness, do you just throw your ticket away and jump off? Or do you stay on the train, sit still, and trust that the engineer knows what He is doing?
 You see, that train is our journey with God, and it is leading us to the great career, great opportunities, great future, and great life that He has for us, and we are the passenger. We are so excited about where this train is going. We are eager and cannot wait to get there. The ride is smooth for the first bit, watching the beautiful views out the window, but once we go through that tunnel, we we find ourselves in this dark place where we cannot see anything, but listen, you wouldn't throw your ticket away and jump off the train, just because there is a moment of darkness. Why would you give up on your journey with God? Why lose that excitement that you once had?
 So listen, what you need to do is just stay on the train, keep going on this journey that God has for you, stay still, and trust the engineer. Be still and just trust that God, the engineer of your train, knows what He is doing.
