There is a story about a young man who went ice fishing for the first time in his life. He arrived with all of his equipment and began to cut a circle in the ice. Suddenly, he heard a deep voice say, “Don’t cut that ice”. The young man stopped, looked around, but didn’t see anyone. So he moved to a different part of the ice and began to drill another hole. Again, the deep voice from nowhere announced, “Don’t cut that ice”. Finally, the young man yelled, “Alright, what’s going on here? What are you bothering me for? Just who do you think you are anyway?” To which the mystery voice replied, “I’m the manager of the skating rink!”

Sometimes we wish God’s voice was that easy to distinguish. We would like to hear it “boom” out and give us direction. Well, maybe it isn’t as hard to hear as we think. He speaks to us very clearly in the Scriptures. Are we listening? How often do we even open them? Beginning in September, make a promise to get back into God’s Word by joining one of our Bible classes and letting God speak to you through His Word!
