They forgot what he had done, and the miracles that he had shown them.
And as he told them that, a student in the back of the room jumped up and shouted,
"Hallelujah! Another miracle!" The speaker lost his composure and asked, "What did you
say?" The student said, "Hallelujah! Another miracle! Just imagine. God drowned all those
Egyptian soldiers in just two inches of water!"
What miracles is God preforming in your life?
(Psalm 78.11
NRSV)
David McKechnie tells a great story about a rather unlikely speaker who came to Bob Jones
University sometime back. Bob Jones is a stronghold of fundamentalism. According to the
story the speaker told the young people, "You are naive. You cannot continue to take the Bible
and apply literalism to it. For example," he said, "take the Old Testament. The Hebrew for `red'
and `reed' is the same word. When it talks about Moses leading the children of Israel through
the Red Sea with the Egyptian army in pursuit, it really means that it was a Reed Sea. That
was no great miracle. There were only about two inches of water in that Reed Sea. It was
more like a marsh. A wind came along, blew the water aside, and they were able to slip on
through."
Lord Jesus, you have preformed some awesome miracles in my life. Guide me in sharing your
miracles of life and hope. Amen.
