The flood waters run ankle deep and a man’s neighbor encourages him to evacuate as authorities are recommending.
“God will take care of me.” the man stated.
Now on his roof, the Red Cross comes by in a rescue raft and makes an attempt to get him to leave.
“God will takes care of me.” he insisted.
The water rises to waist deep as he stands on his roof’s peak. A national guard helicopter lowers its rope ladder and through the loudspeaker orders the man to climb.
“God will take care of me.” he declared.
And then he drowned.
Approaching the Lord in Heaven, the man asked, “Father, my faith was strong and unwavering. Why didn’t you take care of me as I told many you would?”
God answered, “I sent you a neighbor, a rescue raft and a helicopter. What else could I have done?”
A good number of people end up drowning because when the water starts rising in their life, they miss what God is trying to do for them. Sometimes they are looking for something else. Sometimes pride keeps them from utilizing the means. Sometimes they are blind to what God is doing.
Is the water rising in your life?
God will send a means of rescue.
Will you be smart enough to notice?
Or will you drown?
