Rescuers located the bodies of four Italian divers deep inside an underwater cave in the Maldives, days after the group vanished during a dangerous dive far beyond recreational limits, Italy’s Foreign Ministry said Monday. Sadly, in the same article, information that a rescue diver also died trying to retrieve the amateurs was provided.
My interest in this story was spurred by the response of a reader of this article: “Their skill did not match their ego. A deadly combination.”
The same is true of so many on this planet. They avoid the no trespassing signs put up by God and experience an unnecessary death. Yes, Freud pointed this out: the ego and the Id: The primal, unconscious part of the mind that seeks immediate gratification and desires.
Pray first before you go into areas beyond your qualifications. Judah failed to do exactly that in Genesis chapter 38. Give it some thought.
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.
“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil.
Give it some thought.
