Here is a old story that sums up nicely the whole situation with action. As a raging flood threatened a small community one man prayed to be spared. As he prayed the last fleeing townsman drove up in his oversized four wheel drive and shouted, "Hop in I can get you to safety". The praying man said no I am good I have prayed to be spared. As the flood water continued to rise the man went up to his 2nd floor deck now just above the fast running water. A boat staying just ahead of a rising tide of current stopped briefly at the man's deck, the drenched and bedraggled group in the boat offered him a hand to get in. The answer from the man was the same, I have prayed to be saved everything is ok. A few minutes later the water is now to the roofline of the house. The man crawls on his roof and sees a helicopter hovering just above him, a basket quickly being dropped down for him. The man waved them of saying, I have prayed to be saved, and everything is ok. As the helicopter continued to lower the basket the man's house collapsed against the weight of the ever rising water and the man drowned. In heaven this man questioned God and asked him why he had not been spared. God's reply was, I sent you a 4 wheel drive truck, a boat and a helicopter, what more did you need?
