A flood was threatening a small town and everyone was evacuating, heading for a safe place to weather the flood. Everyone left except 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 the man drowned. When he reached his Maker he angrily questioned, "I had complete faith in you. Why did you ignore my prayers and let me drown?"
The Lord replied, "Who do you think sent you the jeep, the boat, and the helicopter?”
