A
Lesson From Frogs
A group of frogs were traveling through the
woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs
gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they
told the unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two
frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit. The
other frogs kept telling them to stop, they were as good as dead.
Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the frogs were saying
and
simply gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog
continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs
yelled at him to stop the pain and suffering and just die.
He
started to jump even harder and finally made it out. But when he got
out, the other frogs asked him, "Why did you continue jumping?
Didn't you hear us telling you to quit." The frog explained to
them that he was deaf. He thought they were Encouraging him the
entire time.
People are going to try to discourage you to
give up fighting, but God wants you to keep going, once you have done
all you can to fight, Jesus will be there to help you get the
victory.
“So
when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal
shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death,
where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death
is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But
thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that
your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
- 1 Corinthians 15:54-58.
