A few Sundays ago, I decided to visit my Son Allan in Bible college and then return home by train. As I sat there watching the towns, cities and building pass by the window, I realized something interesting. I had absolutely no idea where every mile of track was going. I couldn’t see the curves ahead. I didn’t know when we would turn, slow down, or pass through the next town. Yet I wasn’t worried about it at all.

Why? Because I trusted the system. Somewhere ahead there were tracks already laid down. The engineer knew the route, and the railway had prepared the path long before I ever stepped onto the train. My job wasn’t to control the train—it was simply to trust the ride.

The Christian life works much the same way. We often want God to show us every mile of the journey before we take the next step. We want to know how circumstances will unfold, how problems will resolve, and where our decisions will lead. But God rarely reveals the whole map. Instead, He asks us to trust Him one step at a time.

God already sees the track ahead. He knows the curves in the road, the valleys we will pass through, and the destination He is bringing us toward. When we trust Him, we are not trusting blindly—we are trusting the One who laid the tracks before we ever arrived.
