Could We Be Your Helicopter?
A parable is told about a man whose house was caught in a terrible
flood: Two times a boat came by, yet he stayed put claiming,“God will
save me!” He did the same thing when the rescue helicopter flew by and
threw a rope down. To his very death, he was convinced that God would
mysteriously and miraculously save him. When he arrived in Heaven, he
asked God, "Why didn't you save me from that flood? Did I not show you
my faith?" And God replied,"What more would you have me do? I sent
people in two boats and a helicopter to rescue you!”
