"I compare it to a business for your understanding. You understand the corporate world so, I speak to you in terms of what you understand. You see,I'm in business—the ‘God Business' or, looking at it another way, the ‘Good Business'."
If this was God,I thought,then I've been granted a rare privilege and should take full advantage of it. Actually, I was beginning to take him seriously.
His voice broke into my thoughts. "You need proof that I am God. Yet, no matter what proof you're given, you'll always find there's an element of doubt. That doubt, as to whether you did the right thing, is a result of your having the power of choice. Let me tell you this. After I had made the earth and all that was in and on it, I too, wondered whether it was the right thing. But then again, whatever I do is the right thing."
"Did Gideon get his powers from you?"
"Yes, and so did you. Now, let me show you something. Think of a place where you'd like to be."
I thought for a few seconds and then blurted out, "How about the Serengeti plains of East Africa?"
"Good. You will see...." and before the sentence was finished, I found myself on a grassy plain with knotted shrubbery covering the landscape. There were the acacia trees of tropical Africa. Wildebeests, giraffes and elephants dotted the terrain. The transition was so instantaneous that I caught my breath.But then again, didn't Gideon take me to other places and times?Surely, the one who called himself God could do the same.
Suddenly, there was a movement in the tall grass to my right. My previous trips to the Serengeti plains had been taken using more conventional fare such as airplanes, enclosed jeeps and native guides. This time I was all alone except for the wildlife around me. Then there was a rustling sound. A chill went down my spine. I turned around to find, facing me, not more than thirty paces away, the largest, black-mane lion I'd ever seen.
It stared at me through fiery eyes that froze the very marrow in my bones. He crouched ready to spring and I knew, without a doubt, that this situation was not conducive to longevity. Paralyzed with fear, I couldn't move.I just stood there rooted to the ground. With an earth-shattering roar, the lion sprang. I felt the hot breath of the carnivore just inches away. My arms raised instinctively—then a blur, and I was back in the office with Marla, Gideon and God.
"Don't be afraid," said God, "you're not in any danger. Enough of this."
