How Does The God Help? – Story On The Way God Helps

There was a small village across a river. Everyone in the village worshipped God and offered their regular prayers at the temple and river. They were living happily.

During the monsoon season, it rained heavily one day. The river began to overflow. Everyone started to leave their homes due to the flood and to move to the safest place.

One of the villagers ran to the temple and quickly went to the priest’s room and told him, “The flood water has entered our homes and it is rising faster. Water has also begun to enter the temple. We will have to leave the village because in no time it will sink under the water! Everyone has to move to a safer place and you must come along”.

The priest told the man, “I am not an atheist like you all and I have full faith in God. I trust God that he will come to save me. I will not leave the temple, You may go!” After hearing those words, the man left.

The water level began to rise soon and reached waist height. The priest climbed on the desk. A man with a boat came to rescue the priest after a few minutes. He told the priest, “I was told by the villagers that you are still inside the temple, so I have come to rescue you, please climb on the boat.” But the priest again refused to leave, saying the same reason. The boatman also left.

The water increased and reached the ceiling, so the priest climbed to the top of the temple. He continued praying to God to save him. Soon the helicopter came. They dropped the rope ladder for the priest and asked him to climb on and get inside the helicopter so they could take him to a safer place. But the priest disagreed to leave by giving him the same reason again! Then the helicopter left to search and help others.

At last, when the temple nearly submerged under the water, the priest kept his head up and started complaining, “Oh Lord, I worshipped you for all my life and kept my faith in you! Why didn’t you come to save me?”

God appeared in front of him, and with a smile, he said, “Oh mad man, I came to save you three times! I came running to you to ask you to leave for the safest place with other villages, I came with a boat, I came with a helicopter! What is my fault if you did not recognize me?”

The priest realized his mistake and asked for forgiveness. He got his chance to go to the safe place one more time, which he accepted.

Moral of the story

In life, opportunities come unknowingly without any recolonization. We fail to recognize it and keep criticizing that life doesn’t allow us to lead a successful life. Always take every chance you get to make a better life.
