The Lord will help
The rain was falling and the water
level was rising. As the water level rose higher and higher, forcing the man on
to the roof of his house, along came a rowboat with an offer to take him to
safer ground.
"No, thanks." the man
replied. "The Lord will provide." As the water got higher, alone came
someone in a motorboat with another offer to take the man to safer ground.
"No thanks, the Lord will
supply." Standing on the very top of his chimney with a helicopter
hovering overhead offering to take him to safer ground, he yelled out,
"Thanks, but no thanks.
The Lord will provide." The
rapidly rising water finally swept the man off the top of his house, taking him
downstream toward destruction. While being swept alone in the rapids, he cried
out, "Lord, why didn't you help me? You know I was trusting in you."
He heard a voice say, "I sent you a rowboat, a motorboat, and a
helicopter. What more did you want me to do?"
Isn't this just like most of us? God
sends the help we are praying for, but all too often we refuse to recognize the
help He sends.
