The reason I am reminding us of this fateful day in Nautical history is because the Titanic will always confirm that "people are not as invincible as we think we are!" This ship was lauded as being "practically unsinkable" and no one believed it would end in the way it did. As humans, we got arrogant and with this pride, we fell into the age-old trap of self-reliance. We thought we had it all covered, but there were a few things that the owners, engineers and builders had neglected to check out. The most obvious one being the number of life boats on board the Titanic - there were only enough boats for 1 out of 3 passengers!
Although I believe we can 'do all things through Christ who strengthens us' (Philippians 4:13), I do feel that we need to maintain proper perspective. As a human being, I am deeply loved by Jesus, but I am not Invincible. In fact, the sooner we realise that "we are not God" the better for us all. It will be the pride of humanity that we lead to our ultimate demise.
What do you think?

I agree, there are too many big "Ego's" in our society at the moment....In politics, business, sport,schools....many people have been hurt by these "Ego's". The sad thing is how often God's name is falsely quoted to justify these "Ego's ". Remember everything has an expiry date and there is always a fresh and better replacement. Only God is for ever... Amen
