Meteorologists predict a major flood, and evacuation has been ordered by the authorities. A Christian pastor stands outside his house, watching his friends pack their cars. 'Hop in', one cries to him, 'we've got room! We'll take you to safety, just pack some clothes and other things you need!'. Bu the pastor replies calmly, 'I don't need your help, my son. I am a man of God, and He will surely look after me and ensure my survival'.
Hours after the departure of the pastor's friends, rain starts to pound the neighborhood. The next day, the flood water is a meter deep. Patrolling rescue workers come by the house in an inflatable, and see the pastor serenely looking out the window. 'Why are you still here', they yell to him. 'Hey, get in, we'll take you to the refugee centre!'. But again the pastor refuses help. 'I am a pastor, friends', he calms them. 'The Lord will look after me, for He needs his faithful to spread the Word and do good in this world'. Reluctantly, the rescue workers leave.
Days after, the pastor has retreated to the roof of his house. A helicopter arrives and hovers over the house, but again he refuses their help. He is God's servant, and is ensured protection. No help needed. The chopper flies off and disappears into the grey clouds. Hours afterwards, the water engulfs the house and drowns the pastor.
The pastor is dumbstruck when he stands before God. 'My Lord, I've been serving you for years. Why did you not save my life?'
The Lord, after having banged his head into the nearest wall, thunders upon his child, 'You bloody idiot! I sent you a Range Rover, an inflatable, and a National Guard helicopter! What more did you want?!'
