A flood was threatening a small town and everyone was leaving for safe ground except for one man
who said, “God will save me. I have faith.” As the water level rose a jeep came to rescue him, the man
refused, saying “God will save me. I have faith.”
As the water level rose further, he went up to the second story of his house, and a boat came to help him.
Again he refused to go, saying, “God will save me. I have faith.” The water kept rising and the man climbed
On to the roof. A helicopter came to rescue him, but he said , “God will save me. I have faith.” Well, finally
He drowned. When he reached his Maker he angrily questioned, “I had complete faith in you. Why did you
Ignore my prayers and let me down? ”The Lord replied, “Who do you think sent you the jeep, the boat and the
Helicopter?
The only way to overcome a fatalistic attitude is to accept responsibility and believe in the law of cause and effect
rather than luck. It takes action, preparation and planning rather than waiting, wondering and wishing to accomplish
any goal in life
The man had no faith otherwise he would commanded the flood to cease. He had only succeeded in exhibiting his ignorance and lack of understanding of the word of God.
ReplyDeleteHe should go back to his Sunday School teacher and should stop attempting God.

We are are the architect of our own destinies. "That man better work out his salvation with fear and trembling" and stop saying he has Abraham as his father. He is nerve of the work and should go back to Genesis.

Could some direct the man to see my Pastor to pray for him and lift up his faith?
