Two frogs fell into a bowl of cream. The sides were so slick that they could not climb out of it. The frogs had to paddle and paddle just to stay alive; this went on and on for a long time. One frog got so tired that he gave up. He said, “We are never going to get out of here, we’re wasting our time!” He quit, and sunk to the bottom of the bowl. The other frog was more determined; he did not want to quit, so he kept paddling and paddling. A little more time passed, and he noticed that the consistency of cream was changing: it got thicker and thicker. This made the paddling more difficult to do, but the frog refused to quit. Before long, the cream turned to butter, and the frog was able to step out of the butter and walk away. We need to have the same attitude in our lives sometimes. Where there seems to be no way out, let’s keep pressing on and not quit. Keep the faith, and God will honor it!
