    terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency 
    warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes. 
    They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately.</font></font></font></p>
  <p><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><font color="#9AC2FF" size="6"><font color="#224780" size="4">A 
    faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, 
    &#8220;I will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine 
    miracle to save me.&#8221;</font></font></font></p>

    neighbors came by his house and said to him, &#8220;We&#8217;re leaving and 
    there is room for you in our car, please come with us!&#8221; But the man 
    declined. &#8220;I have faith that God will save me.&#8221;</font></font></font></p>
  <p><font color="#004080" size="4" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><font color="#9AC2FF" size="6"><font color="#224780" size="4">As 
    the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in 
    a canoe paddled by and called to him, &#8220;Hurry and come into my canoe, 
    the waters are rising quickly!&#8221; But the man again said, &#8220;No thanks, 
    God will save me.&#8221;</font></font></font></p>

    floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had 
    to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at 
    the window. &#8220;We will come up and rescue you!&#8221; they shouted. But 
    the man refused, waving them off saying, &#8220;Use your time to save someone 
    else! I have faith that God will save me!&#8221;</font></font></font></p>

    helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down 
    the ladder and pleaded with the man, &quot;Grab my hand and I will pull you 
    up!&quot; But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. 
    &#8220;No thank you! God will save me!&#8221; </font></font></font></p>
