Episode 187 - Why we do not hear from God

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.James Hamilton told a story from the days before electric refrigerators. In those days, icehouses furnished the means of cooling food in the summer months. Thick blocks of ice were cut from ponds and lakes and stored in buildings with thick walls, and covered with layers of sawdust to slow the melting process.Hamilton wrote: “One man lost a valuable watch while working in an icehouse. He searched diligently for it, carefully raking through the sawdust, but didn’t find it. … A small boy who heard about the …search slipped into the icehouse… and soon emerged with the watch. Amazed, the men asked him how he found it. [He said,] “I closed the door, …lay down in the sawdust, and kept very still. Soon I heard the watch ticking.”God’s still, small voice can easily be drowned out by the world. Listen intently for Him, then follow his leading.
