Psalm 66:6He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
Professor Marsh shook his head emphatically. He maintained that the
story of the Red Sea was phony. Dr. Reed proposed that maybe they
crossed somewhere else. Brother Allwell said true believers knew it
happened just as it was written. For hours the men argued and fought. No
one changed his mind, nothing was gained, faith was never spoken of,
and the promoters of the debate thought, all in all, it was a great
success.
What is the big idea? The fact is, the Hebrew people escaped the finest
fighting force of its day by crossing a body of water that stopped the
Egyptian army. A miracle is a miracle is a miracle. The [how] is not
nearly as important as the fact that it [did] happen. Our God is a God
of miracle and wonder. Praise Him for what He does, rather than for how
He does it, and you will find your faith grows by leaps and bounds.
Prayer: When Your miracles get reduced to topics for
debate, I find I lose interest, Father. Refresh me with the strangeness
and awe of Your power, Lord. Amen.
