What else could I do for you?

Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. (Psalm 25:4 NIV)

 There was a man who was trapped in a flood and had a vision of God’s hand reaching down from heaven and lifting him to safety. As the water started to rise in his house, his neighbor urged him to leave, offering a ride, the man responded, “I’m waiting for God to save me,”
 As the water rose, engulfing the first floor of his house, he climbed to the roof. A boat came by, they shouted to the man to climb into the boat with them. He yelled back that he was waiting for God to save him. A helicopter hovered over the nearly submerged house and a voice came over a loudspeaker offering to lower a ladder and take him off the roof. Waving the helicopter away, the man again shouted adamantly that he was waiting for God to save him. Finally, the water rose over the roof, caught him up, and swept him away. He drowned.
 When he reached heaven, he indignantly asked, “Lord, why did You not save me? God replied, “I did reach down My hand! —In the form of a pickup truck, a boat, and a helicopter—to lift you to safety, and you refused all of them. What else could I do for you?”
 You may be wondering what this crazy story has to do with anything.
The principle of making wise, prayerful decisions applies to all aspects of our lives. We have to make decisions all the time, and we can’t be stuck in the rut of tenaciously holding on to an approach or mindset just because we’ve used it in the past.
 We need to be open to God’s guidance and place ourselves in His care. —Maria Fontaine [1]

 Obedience to God is the pathway to the life you really want to live. —Joyce Meyer
