Lost at Sea

Lost at Sea

In 1937, Amelia Earhart set out on a 29,000-mile flight
around the world...

With only 7,000 miles remaining, she took off from Lae,
New Guinea, in search of Howland Island, 2,556 miles
distant in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Her last
radio reports were received by the Coast Guard Cutter
Itasca positioned just offshore the mile-and-a-half
long island. At 7:42 a.m., the ship picked up the
message, "We must be on you, but we cannot see you.
Fuel is running low. Been unable to reach you by radio.
We are flying at 1,000 feet." One hour later they heard
the final words, "We are running north and south."
Rescue efforts commenced immediately, but the
$4,000,000 operation covering 250,000 square miles
ended in disappointment. Amelia Earhart and her
navigator, Fred Noonan, were lost at sea.

Thought: Spiritual lostness involves a dangerous
disorientation of the spirit. When a person is lost, it
means he has lost touch with truth and reality.
Important values have vanished from his radar screen.
He is misguided in his beliefs and off course in his
behavior. Lostness is losing one's way in life,
morally, ethically and spiritually. And unless one
repents, the repercussions are everlasting.1

"For what advantage is it to a man if he gains the
whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?" (Luke
9:25).
