SubhanAllah. This ayah says that it is Him who enabled all forms of travelling, the traveler can easily die, he is especially vulnerable.
We all know how many people die in car accidents, aeroplane crashes etc. 
Whenever we survive unscathed from travel, it is from the mercy of Allah, and it is a temporary gift from Him to enjoy our life till a certain time.
It is the default state of a mode of travel to sink/crash, it is the mercy of Allah that makes it safe. This is why the supplication of a traveller is especially accepted, owing to the danger he is in. 
This immediately leads me to think of the dua of travel we are taught. 
'Glory is for Allah the One who  gave us control over this (the mode of transport), we would never capable over it ourselves, and no doubt, towards our Master we will return.'
How fitting it is that we make this dua before every travel!

I added the du'a, which is in the Quran! More precisely, it is called the du'a of alighting (an animal or other means of transport).

In the Name of Allah the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,

We live in an era of fast changing technological advancement. So many changes it is often hard to keep up with the latest gadget. 

These ayats caused for me to stop and reflect earlier today. How often are we thankful for everything we have in our possession? Before modern technology we required animals for transportation and they helped carry loads that helped mankind build big buildings and cities. Without such animals we would not have the luxuries we possess. He has subjugated much to our service. 

Glory be to Allah, if we think about all the small to the large blessings that perpetually surround us we can never ever be truly grateful. 

Think about our blessings the apparent as well as the not so apparent. We are more than likely to come to the conclusion that truly Allah is the Most Merciful and so compassionate. We have been unfair and He is the Just. 

Think of such blessings and be thankful, we will come to love Allah much more deeply.

I read this whilst sitting in my car :) Jazakillahu Khayr for the reminder. 

(وإنا إلى ربنا لمنقلبون) أي: لصائرون إليه بعد مماتنا، وإليه سيرنا الأكبر. وهذا من باب التنبيه بسير الدنيا على سير الآخرة؛ كما نبه بالزاد الدنيوي على الزاد الأخروي في قوله تعالى: ﴿وَتَزَوَّدُواْ فَإِنَّ خَيۡرَ ٱلزَّادِ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ﴾ [البقرة: 197]، وباللباس الدنيوي على الأخروي في قوله تعالى: ﴿وَرِيشًاۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٌ﴾ [الأعراف: 26]. ابن كثير4/126.
السؤال: كثيرًا ما تدلنا أمورنا الدنيوية على الأحوال الأخروية، بَيِّن ذلك من خلال الآيات السابقة.
