Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the
water. As the temperature of the water rises, the frog
will adjust its body temperature accordingly. The frog
will keep on adjusting with increasein temperature.
Just when the water is about to reach boiling point,
the frog will not be able to adjust anymore… At that point the frog will decide to jump out. It will try to
jump but it will not be able to do so, because it has
lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water
temperature… Soon it will die.
What killed the frog? Many of us would say the
boiling water. But the truth is that what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump
out.
We all need to adjust with people and situations, but
we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when
we need to confront/face. There are times when we
need to face the situation and take the appropriate action. If we allow people to exploit us physically,
mentally, emotionally or
financially, they will continue to do so. We have to
decide when to jump. Let us jump while we still have
the strength. PROVERBS 22:3 (NIV)
“The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the
simple keep going and pay the penalty.”
Stay blessed and like Jesus Christ is Lord for prayer and inspiration. Have a blessed dae!
