UNWAVERING FAITH?
A boy was loudly exclaiming his praise to God. "Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God is great!"
Along came an "enlightened college" man who very eager to show this enlightenment, he asked the boy about the source of his joy.
The boy replied , "Don't you have any idea what God is able to do? I just read that God opened up the Red Sea and led the nation of Israel right through the middle."The enlightened man laughed and began to try to open the boys eyes to the "realities" of miracles in the Bible. "That can all be explained. The Red Sea was only 10 inches deep, they waded across."
The boys eyes wandered from the man back to the Bible. The man, content that he had enlightened a poor, naive young person turned to go when the boy began to rejoice and praise louder than before. The man turned to ask ,WHY?
Wow! God is greater than I thought! Not only did He lead the nation of Israel thru the Red Sea, He drowned the whole Egyptian army in 10 inches of water!"

Yes!!! I love God and his Holy word which was inspired by God and entrusted to faithful writers to preserve for us today to read. Praise God for his eternal love, wisdom, grace and mercy. Salvation to all that obey Him. Hebrews 5:9

Isn't it funny that those who want to bicker about the miracles and faith in God, do not even realize that they are on the same side as the Egyptians were and against God. When troubles come their way, God has given them the same opportunity to have faith in Him as Israel did but in their case their trouble shall overtake them and wouldn't it had been better if they would have ask God to help them and seen His wonderful hand at work, than to be His enemy? Does Almighty God have enemies? Yes, anyone who opposes Christ, His Word, and His Holy Spirit, are the real enemies of God, and Satan too, is God's Arch Enemy and God has prepared a place for those who Hate and those who will not forgive......I love your story....

This is true. I mean, it is true that one can find miracles even in supposedly mundane stuff in the world, and you are talking about the Holy Bible, no less!
Good joke. Keep writing!

Penny Mae,
I certainly do. CHRIST said that we were to be as "Children". Notice the strength that this young man had in his convictions... OURS should be just that way! Have a wonderful weekend and a glorious LORD'S DAY.
Thank You,

i don't really have faith, but your story was really cute. beyond the religious implications, i think it explains that "smart" people can be rather dumb at times, can't they? there is no reason to rain on someone elses parade.
