Continued from page 1
Jack and his two friends were going on a spur of
moment two hour canoe trip. The current was too swift,
canoe capsized,
woods were dark and flooded. They wandered around in
darkness, and then they saw a light. It was a fisherman's cabin. They went inside, found some matches, rags, and alcohol and made torches. They begin to walk down
flooded road, and finally came out of
swamp onto a highway. They were safe!
I really learned some valuable lessons from Jack's episode. Several weeks before this, Jack and Eva had begun an exercise program, including swimming. This ordeal was coming up, and Jack's endurance was tested. Many, many people were concerned about Jack and his friends. They prayed, and went searching for them because they were lost. How happy we all were when he was found safe!
We should be concerned about those who are spiritually lost. We should be praying that they would find their way out of darkness, and come to
light.
Matthew 18 verse 12 "How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave
ninety and nine, and goeth into
mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?"
