There was a man who lived in a village that was being threatened by a flood. The whole village was instructed to leave the village. The man's neighbor packed up his family and his belongings. He stopped pass the man's house and asked him to leave with him and his family. The man resisted and told his neighbor "I will stay and wait for GOD! He will save me!"
The neighbor persisted but the man equally resisted. So, the neighbor left with his family.
The flood came. And it began to rise until it came over the mans porch.
A man on a camel came upon the mans house and told the man "Climb onto my camel and we will escape the flood together."
The man resisted and said to the man on the camel "I will stay and wait for GOD! He will save me!".
The man on the camel persisted but the man equally resisted. So, the man and his camel left the man at his house.
The flood continued to rise. It rose to the man's roof forcing the man to sit on the rooftop of his house.
A family in a boat was floating by and they saw the man. The steered closer to the house. They said to the man "Climb into our boat and we will escape the flood together."
The man resisted and said to the family in the boat "I will stay and wait for GOD! He will save me!".
The family persisted but the man equally resisted. So, the family in the boat left the man at his house.
The flood continued to rise and consumed the man's house. The man drowned.
Upon coming face to face with GOD the man asked "WHY? WHY GOD? WHY DID YOU NOT SAVE ME FROM THE FLOOD? WHY DID YOU ALLOW ME TO DROWN?"
GOD looked peacefully upon the man and softly said:
"I sent you your neighbor. I sent you a man on a camel. I sent a family in a boat.
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"
The moral of this story, Look for GOD in the little things!
May GOD bless the telling of this story!
