People are sometimes afraid to become Christians because they fear they will not be able to "live up to it" —they "can't hold out." One man was on the point of receiving Christ as his Savior when the devil raised his old objection: "If you accept that today, you won't be able to keep it. What about tomorrow?"
A friend who was with him pointed to the big water wheel on a picturesque old mill nearby. "What turns the wheel today?"
"The stream."
"What will turn the wheel tomorrow?"
"The stream."
"And the days after?"
"The stream."
The fearful one was then led to see that there is in Christ abundant grace to save and to keep and to meet all need.
