DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 23:23-44; Psalms 135-136; Mark 9:14 -32
For what is your life? It is even as a vapour, that appeareth for a short time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14
The latest research establishes that the iceberg, which was struck by the Titanic had been spotted when it was 2,000 feet away, almost a minute before the impact. The ship had held its course for around half of that time. Had the officer in charge reacted even 15 seconds sooner, the ship may have missed the iceberg, and the lives of 1,476 persons might well have been saved. We know that individuals can pass away very quickly, much less than 30 seconds. At this moment, you have an opportunity to trust the Saviour. Don’t wait another moment. —Arnot P. McIntee
Life at best it is very brief,
Like the falling of a leaf.
Like the binding of a sheaf, Be in time. —Author Unknown
