Something to think about

I found this article and would like to share it with all. You may look at it from two different perspectives.

One way to look at this is through faith - we may have unfaltering faith that GOD will protect us at all times and we may tempt fate and put ourselves at risk, in the sheer determination and belief that whatever we do, GOD is bound to protect us.

Another way to look at it is in opportunities – we may get an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and let it pass, but when GOD gives us another chance, and yet another and we still miss it…that is beyond anyone’s comprehension!

Here’s something else for all to contemplate upon.

GOD WILL PROTECT ME

There was once a man who lived near a river. Now, this man was very religious and he had an unwavering faith in GOD. One day, the river rose over the banks and flooded the town and the man was forced to climb onto his porch roof. While sitting there, a man in a boat comes along and tells him to get in the boat with him, but the man says “No, that's ok, GOD will take care of me.” The man in the boat drives off.

The water rises, so the man climbs onto his roof. At that time, another boat comes along and the person in that one tells the man to get in, but the man replies, “No, that’s ok, GOD will take care of me.” The man in the boat leaves.

The water continues rising and the man climbs onto his chimney. A helicopter comes along and lowers a ladder. The woman in the helicopter shouts to the man to climb up the ladder and get into the helicopter, but the man tells her, “that’s ok.” The woman asks, “Are you sure?” And the man replies, “yeah, GOD will take care of me.” The helicopter flies away.

Finally, the water rises too high and the man drowns. He gets up to Heaven and is face to face with GOD. The man asks, “You told me you would take care of me,what happened?”

GOD replied, “Well, I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what else did you want?”
