FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL
Survivor Eva Hart remembers the night, April 15, 1912, on which the Titanic plunged 12,000 feet to the Atlantic floor, some two hours and forty minutes after an iceberg tore a 300-foot gash in the starboard side:
"I saw all the horror of its sinking, and I heard, even more dreadful, the cries of drowning people."
Although twenty life-boats and rafts were launched-too few and only partly filled-most of the passengers ended up struggling in the icy seas while those in the boats waited a safe distance away.
Lifeboat No. 14 did row back to the scene after the unsinkable ship slipped from sight at 2:20 A.m.
Alone, it chased cries in the darkness, seeking and saving a precious few. Incredibly, no other boat joined it.
Some were already overloaded, but in virtually every other boat, those already saved rowed their half-filled boats aimlessly in the night, listening to the cries of the lost.
Each feared a crush of unknown swimmers would cling to their craft, eventually swamping it.
"I came to seek and to save the lost," our Savior said. And he commissioned us to do the same. But we face a large obstacle: fear.
While people drown in the treacherous waters around us, we are tempted to stay dry and make certain no one rocks the boat.
Do you know the best way to face and overcome your fears?
Develop your faith in God.
Do you know how to develop a strong faith in Him?
Romans 10:17 says, by hearing and hearing the Word of God.
That's why I encourage you to study and meditate the scriptures because it's the best way to "hear" God's Word where ever whenever.
Meditating your Bible verses will give you the power to overcome every fear that comes your way.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind in Jesus name. (KJV)
