CONCLUSION
Every day the man prayed feverishly that GOD would send
someone to rescue him, but no help seemed forthcoming.
One day while he was out scavenging for some food, he
returned to find his hut had gone up in flames while he
was gone.
In anger he cried out to GOD, “How could you let this happen
to me.” Early the next morning, the man was awakened
by the sound of a LARGE BOAT approaching the deserted
Island. It had come to RESCUE him.
How did you know I was here, asked the weary man?
We saw your “smoke signal” replied the captain.
