Points to Ponder

The oxygen is gone.

Those are the words that showed up on my phone this morning. The Titanic submarine with 5 people, had 96 hours of oxygen.

A man named Stockton Rush is one of the 5 aboard this sub. He is the CEO of OceanGate which operates this vessel. Stockton is a billionaire.

Stockton’s wife is the great- great granddaughter of Isidro and Ida Strauss; the well known couple who died on the Titanic in 1912. Isidor is known for making sure all women and children were first in reaching safety. Ida, refused to leave his side.

While there are lots of emotional stories that can be taken from all of this; my first thought is the unknown of how our lives will end. None of these people decided to leave the planet this way. They were explorers, adventurers, researchers.

All of that being said, one thing is true…money will never be your greatest investment. It will never be your last thought to have wished for more. Rather, your relationships will now be front and center. The people you love and who have loved you- are the investments. And even greater, is your investment with Jesus.

So while you are reading this, and have the oxygen to comprehend your life, make sure you have a life-line with Jesus.
