Heeding God's Message To Us
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles Tags: Bulletin Articles on God
The story is told of a Yellowstone National Park ranger who was one day leading a group of hikers to a fire lookout. The ranger was so intent on telling the hikers about the flowers and various kinds of animals, that he switched his two-way radio off because it was distracting.
Nearing the lookout tower, the ranger was met by a nearly breathless lookout, who asked why he hadn’t responded to the messages on his radio.
A grizzly bear had been seen stalking the group, and the authorities were trying to warn the hikers of the danger.
Brethren and friends, any time we tune out God’s message to us, we put our souls in great danger.
Rather, let us give earnest heed, never refusing Him who speaks from heaven through His revealed Word (Hebrews 12:25; cf. Hebrews 2:1-3).
