We are going to be unlocking the following topic over this weekend - "How the Bible can change your life!" I came across this illustration, which may give us a deeper insight into this message...
"A former park ranger at Yellowstone National Park tells the story of a ranger leading a group of hikers to a fire lookout. The ranger was so intent on telling the hikers about the flowers and animals that he considered the messages on his two-way radio distracting, so he switched it off. Nearing the 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 them of the danger.
Any time we turn out the messages God has sent us, we put at peril not only ourselves, but also those around us. How important it is that we never turn off God's saving communication!" - Harold M. Wiest, Power for Living, p. 109.
When we read the Scriptures we must expect that it will change our lives.
