G-d Will Provide
A religious man lived a good live and always felt G-d had treated him
well. One day the water of a nearby river crested above the banks and a
flood began. While all his neighbors evacuated, he stood fast and told
them he wasn't worried, that G-d would provide.
As the water reached his roof, a man in a raft came by and told him to hop
on. He said no, that G-d would provide.
With the water now halfway up his roof a man in a rowboat came and
implored that the man come with him. He refused saying G-d would provide.
Finally a helicopter came and dropped a rope as the waters rose even
higher. He still stood fast at the top of his roof, insisting that G-d
would provide. The helicopter flew way, and soon the rising water carried
the man to his death.
At the gates of heaven the man asked G-d why he did not save him.
G-d replied, "What do you mean? I sent two boats and a helicopter!"
