Amazing Miracle in a River

This isn't the river, but looks almost exactly like the one we walked

Walking with my wife along a bridge over a river, I looked down the 30-foot drop and saw a couple of fish lazily swimming in the water. Getting some inspiration from the discovery, I talked her into going to the end of the bridge and walking down near the river, in hopes of catching a glimpse of another fish or two.

Knowing fish spook easily, we gingerly and softly walked about 10 feet from the edge of the river.

As we went further up the river, without seeing any fish, suddenly I spotted a big one not far away; seeming to float on the top of the water. It didn't take long to see that we were in for an extraordinary experience.

After just another step, we saw more fish, and as we continued to walk, we saw fish after fish - hundreds of them - scattered along the river, from bank to bank. Never had I seen such a sight, and as a matter of fact, after enjoying that scene for about a three-block area, we went home and didnt' think much about it.

But once there, it seemed a nudge from the Holy Spirit caused me to understand this wasn't just any ordinary event we had been engaged in, but one that was extraordinary.

When thinking on it, I realized all the fish were spaced at exact intervals along the river, and when looking at one, it rolled on its side as if giving a salute.

The scripture in Romans 8:18-20 came to mind afterwards, as I was reminded that the creation eagerly waits for the manifestation or revealing of the sons of God.

To the day I die I'll believe the fish were paying homage to the Lord Jesus Christ within us.

Romans 8:18-20 (NASB)

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope.
