Reminds me of an old joke.
A preacher is drowning in a lake after his fishing boat capsizes. His belief in the power of God is so absolute, he knows for a fact that God Himself will save him.
Another fishing boat comes along, and they throw him a life raft. He does not clutch it, and instead calls to the boaters, "Don't worry, I will be okay. God will save me!"
The boaters call 911, and a helicopter soon appears. They release a rope ladder for him to climb, but the preacher ignores it. "Don't worry, God will save me!"
Soon a firetruck and an ambulance arrive. The firemen swim out to the preacher, but by then he has lost consciousness. By the time he reaches the ambulance, he has died.
At the Gates of Heaven, the preacher meets with St. Peter, and he is very disappointed. "I was so sure that God would save me . . ." he says to St. Peter, crestfallen.
St. Peter frowns and looks at his file. "Well, we sent you a life raft, a helicoptor, a fire truck, and an ambulance. What more did you expect?!"
