I heard in a sermon some years ago that C. S. Lewis illustrated one notion of the will of God with a story about a little train. A little train became bored with always having to follow the tracks laid out for him. As he followed the track through the meadows, over the hills and through the valleys, he became envious of the horses, the cows and calves, and the other animals he would see roaming and frolicking freely among the flowers and grasses. One morning he decided he too wanted the freedom to frolic and play among the flowers in the meadow with the animals. Well, as we might expect, when he jumped his track he could not frolic in the meadow but only spun his wheels forward and backward going nowhere. Fortunately for the little train, there was a crane that could come and lift him back onto his track so he could get back on the way he was intended to go. DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN LOCATE THIS STORY IN LEWIS's WRITING?
Thanks!
