Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.

There is an old joke about a man who ignored an evacuation order given because of a coming flood. As the water began to rise, a rescue officer in a boat came by his house and told him to get in or he might drown.

The man replied, “I’m fine. God will take care of me.”

When the water continued to rise, he was eventually forced to the roof of his house. A helicopter flew over and lowered a ladder, but he again refused. “God will take care of me.” After he drowned, he asked God why He hadn’t rescued him. God responded, “I sent you a boat and a helicopter, what else did you want?”

There are times when we do not listen to what God has said because it convicts us or would requires us to do something we do not want to do. Make the decision today to choose to obey God, no matter how He may lead.
