During the Depression era of the last century, the coal-mining region of eastern Tennessee was hit hard by poverty. Miners’ families, living in tiny shacks sprinkled around the lower part of one of those coal mountains, were sometimes subject to further troubles from natural elements. One spring the rains came particularly strong, and the small stream down in the valley spilled over its banks and eventually swept away many of the homes. On the day of the worst of the flooding, a man named Mr. Underwood drove his mule-team coal wagon down to the edge of the floodwaters more than once to bring a load of families up to higher ground. He was determined to leave no one behind.
Floodwaters are rising all around us, and we have the message of the gospel that can bring a dying world to the high ground of salvation. Are we willing to go out and bring them in?
Father, open my eyes to those who are dying in their sins; so I am compelled to lead them to salvation.
