Voice of the Spirit

There’s this old joke that goes like this:

A pious man was caught in a flood and the water was creeping upwards as he sat in his house. He prayed and prayed that God would save him. When the water was approaching the porch, someone in a truck drove up, and offered him a ride. He said, “No, God will save me.”

As the water crept over the porch, a boat came by and a young man shouted for him to get in. Once again, the pious man said, “No, God will save me.”

A short while later, now perched atop his roof, he saw a helicopter fly by, trying to rescue him. Once again, he refused, saying, “No, God will save me.” He then drowned.

Arriving in heaven, he met the glorious God Almighty. The man’s first question of God was, “Lord, why didn’t You save me?” And God replied, “My son, I tried saving you three times! I sent a truck, a boat, and a helicopter! What more did you want?”

The story’s point is obvious:  The man was so busy waiting for God to save him in a miraculous way, that he ignored the help he was being sent. It’s food for thought: Is the universe sending something to help you that you’re not seeing?
