A
flood was threatening a small town and everyone was leaving for safety
except one man who said, "God will save me. I have faith." As the water
level rose a jeep came to rescue
him, the man refused, saying "God will save me. I have faith." As the
water level rose further, he went up to the second storey, and a boat
came to help him. Again he refused to go, Belying, "God will save me. I
have faith." The water kept rising and the man
climbed on to the roof. A helicopter came to rescue him, but he said,
"God will save me. I have faith." Well, finally he drowned. When he
reached his Maker he angrily questioned, "I had complete faith in you.
Why did you ignore my prayers and let me drown?"
The Lord replied, "Who do you think sent you the jeep, the boat, and
the helicopter?"
The only way to overcome the fatalistic attitude is to accept responsibility and believe in the law of cause and effect rather than luck.
It takes action, preparation and planning rather than waiting, wondering or wishing, to accomplish anything in life.
