Man was walking along the beach in deep prayer with God.
He was a devout man, devoted to the Lord.
The skies opened up and the voice of the Lord came down and said, John, you have been faithful to me.
And so like Solomon, I will grant you one request, what would that be.
The man answered, I would like a road from Here to Hawaii.
God contemplated and said do you know what that would take, how much concrete, how many people, what that would do to the ocean and how much time it would take?
Is there anything else you might want?
The man replied after deep in thought, well grant me the ability to understand women.
Then God replied, two lanes or four!
Funny that we seem to give women a hard time about things, and in a world that has absolutely not treated women in the right way, we only need turn to John chapter 4 to see what Jesus thought about women, in John 4:10
Pray
The reason this is one of my favorite verse is based on two things.
Number one, we see here that God reveals the Gospel to a woman, this is one of the ways we know this isn’t a story written by men but God.
This was nearly unheard of in this time or even in contemporary context, but God thought that women had as much value as men and so Jesus revealed one of the biggest mysteries in the universe to her.
Secondly, it reminds us that no matter who we are, we can find freedom in Christ, if we only ask.
