TEN INCHES OF WATER
TEN INCHES OF WATER
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!
