TO REFLECT... OUR ENGINE DRIVER
"He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge" (Psalm 91:4) During the French Revolution, a train transporting mail bags needed to arrive at its destination, across 60 miles of sinuous roads, in one hour. The engine driver was responsible for the mail bags and his wife and daughter were on the train. He needed to go as fast as possible and when he crossed a bridge over a great lake, it seemed as though the train would be derailed as it leaped in the air. The few people who were on the train were terrified and some even held their breath because of the fear that gripped them. In the midst of all this apprehension there was someone who played and amused herself without any preocupation. When she was asked why she was not afraid, the little girl laughed and answered: "Because my father is the engine driver!" A little later, the train conductor entered the wagon to his wife's joy. While he wiped the sweat from his face, his daughter jumped into his arms and laid her head against his chest, with the same tranquility that she had when at home. What a wonder lesson for the children of our Heavenly Father! How many times have we been terrified by the shaking of the train of our lives as we cross the sinuous roads of daily difficulties. It seems as though we cannot reach our objectives and that we are about to derail! Is it a job we have lost, or a failed entrance exam, or just some misunderstanding that insists on happening in our homes? However, if we have placed our lives before God, and we have believed that our Father conducts all things according to His will, we have nothing to fear, and even though everything seems to be contrary, surely He will lead us safely to the station of victory! If Jesus is the "Engine Driver" of your life, smile and sing, because He will always take care of you!
