When the RMS Titanic began sending out
distress signals, the SS Californian, rather than the Carpathia, was
the closest ship; yet the Californian did not respond until it was
much too late to help. At 12:45 a.m. On April 15, 1912, crew members
on the Californian saw mysterious lights in the sky (the distress
flares sent up from the Titanic) and woke up their captain to tell
him about it. Many people believe that if the Californian had
responded to the Titanic's pleas for help, many more lives could have
been saved.
Wow that's sad and scary at the same
time! Close enough to see but too lazy to do anything about it.
Isn't that a symptom of the decayed society we live in today. We are
all so wrapped up in our own dilemma's that we don't even take notice
when somebody else around us is hurting.
Let us take the time to think of and
remember those around us that are hurting and pray for God to move in
their lives. As we give the gift of interceding prayer God will
bless us with prayers answered!
