TRAINS

Trains travel on rails that run from one destination to another.  Everything runs smoothly until a train gets off track.  This is called a derailment. Many things can cause a train to get off track. Obstacles in the way, mechanical failure in the train or rails.

The reason is important only to help prevent a derailment in the future. More important than why is the prevention of future failures. As we travel life, we can be gliding along at a good speed when something major happens to derail us.  Sickness, death of a loved one, loss of a job, betrayal of a friend. Once we have lost our momentum, it may take a little while to get our life back on track.

It often takes great effort to lift the weight of the train and get it back on the tracks. This is where our determination to not be stopped will be crucial to our momentum.  Keeping our God Focus even in the middle of a derailment, can be done if we TRUST GOD. Jesus is always there to help us get things back on track.

Sometimes the enemy will build obstacles on the tracks for us to run into causing us to get derailed.  He custom creates temptation for each of us.  He will whisper, “you are not good enough” “who do you think you are to be doing what God has called you to do.” “Is it really that bad if you do this one little thing that God said no to do.” Like with Job, he will send you miserable comfort that will encourage you to curse God and die.

We have power over the powers of the enemy. All we have to do is speak the word. Use scripture to put him in his place. This will remove him and his obstacles from our path. Resist the devil and he will flee. Leaving us a clear path to reach out and cry out to Jesus so that we can always be in the presence of God to thank him for what he has done for us.
