Proof The Bible Is True

Three-year-old Jonah was all tucked in, ready for a bedtime story. Tonight’s, I decided, would come from the Bible. I told Jonah about Samuel, a little boy like himself, who lived in the temple with the priest Eli. One night after Eli lay down to sleep, Samuel heard someone call his name. He ran over to Eli and said, “Here I am!”

 

“But it wasn’t Eli who had called Samuel’s name,” I explained to Jonah. “It was the Lord.”

 

When the story was over, we spoke about Samuel, and how God speaks even to little boys. I thought it might be fun to talk about what God’s voice might sound like. I asked Jonah, “Have you ever heard the voice of God?”

 

“Yes,” he said, without hesitation. “The day I got run over by the truck!”

 

I was stunned. Of course, I remembered the day he was talking about. I would never forget it. It was only a few months earlier. It seemed like only yesterday that the doctor had finally removed the cast from Jonah’s leg.
