TEN INCHES OF WATER
Author Unknown
Dec 15, 2006

A boy was sitting in 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
lying 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
leave.

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!
