THE PARABLE OF THE ANCHOR

Out in the sea of life, there were two boats. The first one had an anchor called money; the second had an anchor called Jesus the Rock.

The first was loved of all men. The second was despised, scorned and rejected. The truth is He is the only friend fishermen have.

The deep sea raged and the winds blew. Money failed to hold the first boat down. The stock market tumbled and rose in dizzying fashion; interest rates climbed and fell causing men's hearts to fail them for fear.

On the other side of the sea, in the midst of the raging storm, not being of this world yet present in the world, the second boat was steady on the rock.

The first boat called out "Money has failed me can you help?" Jesus replied and said, "...Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. " (Acts 2:21)

Think for a while, who really is the anchor of your soul? Jesus should be your anchor.
