SHORT STORY

***SHORT STORY*** A popular story with a minor variation goes as follows: A man fell off a cliff, but managed to grab a branch of a tree on the way down. >> The following conversation then proceeded: "Is anyone up there?" "I am here. I am the Lord. Do you believe me?" >> "Yes, Lord, I believe. I really believe, but I can't hang on much longer." "That's all right, if you really believe you have nothing to worry about. >> I will save you. Just let go of the branch." After a moment of pause, the many continued and sad: "Is anyone else up there?" The man failed to depend on the Lord when the “crunch situation” was encountered! Faith and Trust in the Lord requires us to follow His Word and to be assured that His Providence will take us through!
