"When the train goes through a tunnel and the world gets dark, do you jump out? Of course not. You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through." Corrie ten Boom
I thought this was a good metaphor of when things get wacky in our lives, not give up. Sometimes life requires us to sit back and trust the engineer in our lives. The engineer is God. I am at this place in my life now. I have done all I can do, now I am trusting the engineer in my life. I know He is going to bring me through this dark tunnel into the light.
As I type this I think about the coal miners in Chile. They are stuck in a dark hole, waiting for almost three months to see light. When they show them on the news camera they are not down there all crying and panicking. Honestly, I would probably be down there going crazy. Anyway, yes, they miss their families but they have a hope. They know they are not going to be in that dark whole forever. They know they are going to see light.
Today, I am encouraging you as I encourage myself. If you are going through something trust and believe the engineer of our lives, God, is not going to keep us in this dark tunnel. He is going to bring us into marvelous light.
