A
Sunday school teacher was telling the students of how the walls of Jericho came
down amazingly by the blowing of trumpets of the people.
Observing that Johnny was daydreaming, the teacher asked him:
"Johnny, who knocked down the walls of
Jericho?"
Johnny
started shouting furiously, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it.”
And he ran from the class in protest.
That
evening the teacher met his parents in the park and spoke to
Johnny’s mother.
She told her the story of what happened in the class and
Johnny’s unreasonable outburst.
His mother said, “If my son said he didn't do it, then he didn't do it! I
trained him not to tell lies.”
The perplexed teacher asked Johnny’s mother
if she could speak to Johnny’s father.
When
she explained the incident to him he said:
"Let's not fuss about this. Just
tell me how much it will cost to repair the walls and I'II write a
cheque."
Thought for Reflection
Human beings have wisdom and
knowledge to understand why things happen in this way or that way.
Yet every person is not same with
regard to the use of intelligence and comprehension of things.
“Leave the presence of a fool, for there you
do not meet words of knowledge”
Proverbs
14:7
“Comprehension of things and use of
intelligence
are the outcome of knowledge and wisdom”
Antony
