A terrible storm had been raging for quite a while and the city was being evacuated due to the coming flood. A big truck came by one house with an old man on the porch and the truck driver said:
"Hop in old man, this area is going to flood."
The old man replied:
"Go pick up someone else son, God will save me."
Hours later a boat came by and saw the old man sitting at his second floor window. The boat captain said.:
"Come aboard sir, your house is going to under water soon."
The old man replied:
"Go pick up someone else son, God will save me."
Hours later a helicopter flew by and the pilot saw the old man clinging to the top of his chimney. The pilot dropped the ladder and said on the speaker:
"Take the ladder sir, the waters are continuing to rise."
The old man waved off the helicopter and said:
"Go pick up someone else son, God will save me."
Time went by, the flood waters rose higher, the old man swam for a while but finally became exhausted and drowned.
In heaven the old man walked the streets, happy but confused. He saw god and worshiped him but finally asked:
"God, I had faith. I trusted that you would save me but I died."
God looked down and said:
"I sent a truck, a boat and a helicopter."

Not enough to have faith and ask for God's help, you must be willing to accept it in whatever form it comes.
