Talking miracles (Judges 15)

“So God caused water to gush out of a hollow in the ground at Lehi, and Samson was revived as he drank. Then he named that place ‘The Spring of the One Who Cried Out’, and it is still in Lehi to this day.”

The Bible is a book of miracles, and this chapter records two of the most unbelievable. How was Samson able to capture 300 foxes, tie their tails together in pairs, fasten burning torches in the knots, and send them running through the wheat fields of the Philistines?

And later, how was he able to quench his thirst with water gushing forth out of dry ground?

It is obvious that Samson could not have done these things on his own. That’s what a miracle is—something beyond human ability. And as far as miracles go, these two are not all that incredulous. The vast universe that surrounds us, life itself, divine revelation—now you’re really talking miracles.
