Another related his fear of dying, as he heard the awful roar of the falls only yards away. A third passenger refused to release her firm grip on a slippery, life-saving rock, even when a Niagara Falls area firefighter arrived to save her. The thought of drifting helplessly towards Niagara Falls is of course terrifying. The stark reality, however, is that how one dies is not life's main issue. The danger of drifting through this life while unprepared for the next is equivalent to clutching a slippery and temporary rock while refusing the permanent rescue.
Many people frantically cling to material things for security and happiness.
They drift through each day depending solely on their own ability to survive and prosper during life. Then when a crisis beyond their ability to control strikes, the folly of trusting corruptible things becomes painfully evident. Others admit to God's existence yet feel they can do business with Him at a time when life is more stable and less hectic. Remember, at any moment you may find yourself being swept over the falls of time and drifting into eternity. If you have been drifting through life without God, whether intentionally or unintentionally, consider for a moment the claims of Jesus Christ.
