I
was standing at the rim of a large tank of water.
It was supposed to be fresh
but had been sitting for so long there was yucky stuff on the bottom.
I
had my favourite Bible in each hand and I jumped in without hesitation.
As I
did, the Bibles flew out of my hands and I lost them in the water as I was
going to the bottom of the tank.
I
prayed out loud that, "God, as You made the axe head float, please make my
Bibles float so I can recover them when I surface."
I
popped up to the surface and took a breath. I looked around the top of the
water and could only see one of my
Bibles floating.
I grabbed it grateful that it was there and
realised the other had sunk and was irretrievable.I
was a little sad... then I heard God say:
"Just
as the wood made the axe head float and the bitter water drinkable, so did that
Bible make this water fresh again."
