...obedience

Years ago some soldiers at Ft. Dix were fighting a forest fire...

They were out in the forest with the flames all around them when a plane flew over unexpectedly. The unidentified pilot flew very low over the firefighters and began to drop notes with weights tied to them. Three times he did this. 

This is what the notes said, "You are surrounded by flames and are going to perish unless you take action immediately. There is one narrow corridor left open and that is your only escape; before long it will be cut off." 

The firefighters read the note, obeyed it and their lives were saved.

A message came from above and told them something they could not know in the midst of the smoke, heat and furor. 

Thankfully, 

the firefighters did not question the authenticity or reliability of the note; 

they acted on it by faith; 

they acted on it in time, 

they were saved.

What a picture of our society today. We are in a fire storm of trouble; we are in an inferno of problems. We face a rising tide of violence, horrible diseases, just to name a few. God has given us his message from above, and there is a way to escape and to live for him in an X-rated society.
