Hold On To CHRIST!
A priest traveling on
a train in Europe was the sole occupant of a compartment, except for a young
man reading a newspaper.
The youth was also a
Christian, but so weak was his faith, and so
many were his temptations, that he told the priest he did not think he
would be able to stand life a week longer.
The priest took from
his pocket a Bible and a penknife and said, "See, I will make this
penknife stand up on the cover of this Bible, in spite of the rocking of the
train."
The young man,
thinking that this was some conjuring trick, watched the proceeding with
interest, saying, "I am afraid that it will not be very easy to do that ,
sir."
"But," said
the priest, "I am doing it."
"Oh, but you are
holding it," retorted his fellow passenger.
"Why of course.
Did you ever hear of a penknife standing up on its end without being held
up?"
"I see," was
the young man's comment. "I see you mean to teach me that I cannot stand
unless Christ holds me. Thank you for reminding me of that."

My brethren, we just
can't stand a day without Christ. Maybe we think we can but the REALITY is we
just can't. We have no chance resisting temptation without Christ.
Let’s not be like
Peter. When he shifted his gaze from Jesus, while walking on water, he began to
sink.
The truth is, if you
feel weak on your faith, the more you focus on Jesus the more you will walk on
water.
Stay Blessed!
