April 1912. I find it amazing that 100 years ago before my grandparents were even teenagers, there were people just like you and I taking a cruise ship across a continent and what they must have experienced that April night. A nightmare no one will ever forget. I think about all the subsequent tragedies that have happen and continue to happen every day. On that day, I can only imagine the cries that went out to God. And I think that because we're created in God's image as the Bible teaches, it might be human instinct to cry out to God in a situation like this. There might not have been enough time to do anything other than to cry out to God and pray in that hour of need. Just like during hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti or any personal tragedy one can find themselves in, etc. But why wait for tragedy to strike? A tragedy can mean practically anything; from a death in the family to receiving really bad news from your doctor. Having the strength in faith that God Himself will be with me even through death is more hope than anyone can ever imagine and that hope is offered freely to every one of God's creations because of His overwhelming love and forgiveness. The Bible states "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call on Him while He is near" - Isaiah 55:6. "It is appointed man once to die, then the judgement" - Hebrews 9:27.
"Behold now is the accepted time... Behold NOW is the day of salvation"
- 2 Corinthians 6:2
