Faith in God
A very religous old man lived just downhill of a big dam. One
winter, after heavy rains, he got a knock at the door.
When he answered the door, there was a policeman in a raincoat.
"I'm here to tell you the dam's in danger of bursting"
he said. "If you want to leave, you have time to do so."
"No, thank you." said the old man. "My Lord
God will save me."
"Okay," said the Policeman..."suit yourself!"
and he left.
The next day, there was a knock on his door. When he answered
the door, there was a Fireman dressed in flood-gear...down at
the bottom of where his driveway used to be was a boat.
"I'm here to tell you that the dam has burst. It will
soon take over your home. Please take some clothes and come
with me!" He said.
"No, thank you" said the old man..."I've prayed
to my Lord God, and he will save me!!"
The fireman shook his head and said "Suit yourself!!"
and he left.
The next day the flood waters had taken over his home and he
was stranded on the roof.
Soon, a helicopter came by, and a Rescuer shouted through the
open door "Give me your hand!! We'll get you out of here!!!"
"No!!" replied the old man...."My faith in my
Lord God will rescue me!!"
"Suit yourself!!" said the Rescuer, and he flew away.
The next day, the old man drowned.
At the pearly gates, he met up the the Almighty. "My Lord
God....I have always tried to be a good Christian!!! I prayed
and prayed for you to rescue me, and I died anyway!! Why!!???"
The Almight answered in a booming voice: "HEY!!! I SENT
YOU A POLICEMAN, A BOAT AND A HELICOPTER!!! WHAT MORE DID YOU
WANT!!!??"
