*Cold Spiritually*
The man huddled on the cabin floor was slowly freezing to death.
It was high in the Rockies in southwestern Alberta, and outside a blizzard raged.
John Elliott had logged miles that day through the deep snows of the mountain passes.
As he checked for avalanches and as dusk and exhaustion overcame him he had decided to “hole-up.”
He made it wearily to his cabin but somewhat dazed with fatigue, he did not light a fire or remove his wet clothing.
As the blizzard blasted through the cracks in the old cabin walls, the sleeping forest ranger sank into oblivion, paralyzed by the pleasure of the storm’s icy caress.
Suddenly, however, his dog sprang into action, and with unrelenting whines, finally managed to rouse his near-comatose friend.
The dog was John’s constant companion, a St. Bernard, one of a long line of dogs famous for their heroics in times of crisis.
“If that dog hadn’t been with me, I’d be dead today,” John Elliott says.
“When you’re freezing to death you actually feel warm all over, and don’t wake up because it feels too good.
This moving story illustrates the spiritual condition of many people today.
They are cold spiritually, and sadly are oblivious of their true condition.
Thank God for all the ways in which He arouses such sleepers.
He sends His messengers to nudge them awake.
Sometimes the methods used to awaken them are drastic, but always for their good.
Let us not imagine that because He shakes us, He therefore hates us.
He awakens us from lethargy because He loves us, and wants to save us from an eternal death.
When we were “ready to perish” (Isaiah 27:13), He was “ready to save” (Isaiah 38:20).
Trust your life in His hand.
