A boy was sitting on a park bench with one hand resting on an open Bible.
He was loudly exclaiming his praise to God.
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God is great!" he yelled without worrying whether
anyone heard him or not.
Shortly after, along came a man who had recently completed some studies
at a local university. Feeling himself very enlightened in the ways of truth
and very eager to show this enlightenment, he asked the boy about the source
of his joy.
"Hey" asked the boy in return with a bright laugh, "Don't you have any idea
what God is able to do? I just read that God opened up the waves of the
Red Sea and led the whole nation of Israel right through the middle. "
The enlightened man laughed lightly, sat down next to the boy and began
to try to open his eyes to the "realities" of the miracles of the Bible.
"That can all be very easily explained. Modern scholarship has shown that
the Red Sea in that area was only 10 inches deep at that time.
It was no problem for the Israelites to wade across."
The boy was stumped. His eyes wandered from the man back to the Bible laying
open in his lap. The man, content that he had enlightened a poor, naive
young person to the finer points of scientific insight, turned to go.
Scarcely had he taken two steps when the boy began to rejoice and praise
louder than before. The man turned to ask the reason for these resumed jubilations.
"Wow!" exclaimed the boy happily, "God is greater than I thought!
Not only
did He lead the whole nation of Israel through the Red Sea, He topped it
off by drowning the whole Egyptian army in 10 inches of water! "
So, how's your faith in God today?
