In my last letter, I asked the question, “Do you trust and have faith in your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? For me the answer was simple, “Yes”. But little did I know at the time, how my faith was going to be put to the test. As you may recall, I had just started training to become a NYC Train Operator and was given this opportunity earlier than their rules specified. Well, on the very same day that my original letter was issued in this magazine, I received a phone call informing me that there was a mistake made and I was not supposed to be placed in this class after all. I knew that they were wrong and that God would not have given me this promotion just to take it back. I prayed about it and had others pray as well.
Then the day came when I was placed back in my former position as Train Conductor. I was confused. How can God do this to me? I gave Him the glory in this testimony. I prayed about the situation and called on others to pray. And now this happens? I had a hard time accepting it. I was discouraged and wondered what it was that I did wrong to make God just take this opportunity away from me. Then God brought back to my mind the question, “Do you trust and have faith in your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? He began to show me what I still had…I still had a JOB! He began to show me that there are other opportunities for me to grow within this system. And then He reminded me that even if this weren’t the case, He would still deserve all the honor, all the glory and all the praise. Because He is God and that alone is why He should be given all that and then some…..And that’s what it means to trust and have faith in your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
