GOD
IS GREAT!
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 this
resumed jubilation.
"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!"
