A Ship Saved by Seagulls

A pilot related recently how he detected a floating-mine by the presence of seagulls whilst in the English Channel, “I observed a ring of gulls,” he said, “sitting on some floating object. On examining it more intently, I saw it was a mine, with prongs, and upon each prong was perched a seagull. I deviated the ship’s course slightly, and so averted a disaster.”
So God used these birds to save a ship from destruction. To save the sinner’s soul today, God gives the faithful warning of His Word. He warns us of the perils that surround our lives, and of the awful danger that a waits an unsaved soul.
If we heed God’s warnings we shall escape the wrath to come. If we do not heed, we shall be lost forever. Lance Corporal Roberts tells us an incident of God’s protecting care: ―
