Everything Thrown Overboard

From: Moody's Stories By: Dwight Lyman Moody

Luke 18:13¹³And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. (Luke 18:13)

There sometimes comes a time on shipboard when everything must be sacrificed to save the passengers. The cargo is thrown overboard, the rigging thrown away. At last the captain puts the trumpet to his lips and shouts, “Cut away the mast!”

Some of you have been tossed and driven, and in your effort to keep the world, you have well-nigh lost your soul. Overboard with all other anxieties and burdens! Drop the sails of pride and self-righteousness. God will hear your faintest cry for help!
