There once was a man who had very much faith in God. He trusted that because of his unyielding loyalty to the Christian church, God would take care of him always. Then, one day, disaster struck. There was a huge flash flood in his area, and things weren’t looking good. Water was rising to waist-level, and there had to be some way for him to get out. Well, he knew God would save him. So he waited. Soon, a raft of people came floating by. “Come with us now, or you’ll drown!” they pleaded. However, he refused. “God will save me,” he replied, very confidant that he was indeed right. Then, the water rose some more. The man had to climb to the top of his house, and a group of rescue people came by soon after in a larger rescue boat. “Come on, you’re going to get swept away and drowned!” “No,” the man said, “I am keeping my faith. God will save me.” Finally, the house was completely flooded over, so the man was hanging on the to the tip top of the highest tree in town. Soon, a helicopter came flying by. “Come on, you’re going to drown for sure. The water level is still rising!” But he shook his head. “No, God will save me!” Well, soon after that, the water level rose, and he drowned. When he went to heaven, he approached God, flabbergasted. “God, why didn’t you save me?” “I tried to three times!”
