Something interesting to read :A man was caught in his house in a flood.
He began praying to God to rescue him.
He had a vision in his head of God's hand reaching down from heaven and lifting him to safety.
The water started to rise in his house.
He heard a neighbor honking his horn outside in a pick-up truck. The neighbor was yelling at the man to come on and he would give him a ride to safety. T
he man yelled back. It's Ok, I am waiting for God to save me.
The neighbor drove off.
The man continued to pray and hold his vision as the waters began rising in his house.
He had to climb up to his roof on the house.
He continued to pray for God to rescue him.
He believed with all his heart that God would reach out that hand and lift him away.
As he was sitting on his roof praying, a boat came by with some people heading for safe ground. They yelled at the man to grab a rope they would throw him and they would take him with them.
He yelled back that it was ok, he was waiting for God to save him.
They shook their heads and moved on.
The man continued to pray, believing with all his heart that he would be saved by God.
The flood waters continued to rise and were near the top of the roof now.
A helicopter flew up and a voice came over a loudspeaker telling the man they would lower a ladder and take him off the roof.
The man waved the helicopter away, yelling that he was waiting for God to save him. The helicopter took off.
The man continued to pray and hold fast to his vision of God's hand reaching down to him,
but the waters were now coming over the roof and caught him up and swept him away.
He drowned.
The man was in heaven at the foot of God. He asked God,
WHY did you not save me?.
I believed in you with all my heart. WHY did you let me drown?.
God replied:
I sent you a pick-up truck, you refused that.
I sent you a boat, you refused that.
I sent you a helicopter, you refused that.
In MY NAME, what else could I possibly do for you!!!???
NEED I SAY MORE????....:-))
