Little Boat

Once upon a time there was a little boat out floating, lost, on the Sea of Life. It had been floating a long, long time and it was scarred and dented from weathering many storms.
“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

One day there came a terrible storm. The angry water tossed the little boat roughly about on its choppy and churned up surface. As the winds rose, the skies darkened menacingly, thunder rolled loudly, and lightning forked across the little boat's bow, cracking against its already battered body.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
