Story oF bOiLinG fRoG

A few years ago some scientists conducted an experiment involving a little frog.
In their lab was a vat of steaming, boiling hot water. They wanted to determine
how the frog would react when dropped into the vat. Armed in their white aprons,
clipboards, pencils, goggles, and rubber gloves, they held the squirming little
frog over vat. Focusing intently on what they were about to do they dropped the
frog … ZING!!! Faster than a bolt of blazed lightning that little guy burst into
the air, careening off the ceiling! "Hmmmmm," the scientists murmured amongst
themselves. They did it again. Same frog, same vat of steaming water and …
ZING!!! It blasted from that vat like a bat out of Hades! The scientists
murmured amongst themselves again, recorded their notes, and decided to take the
experiment a step further. They took the same frog, and held it over a different
vat of water. Only this time the water was lukewarm, not too cold, not too hot
just right. They dropped the frog and … NOTHING!!! The little guy just laid
there, floating lazily; arms and legs splayed gently on the water's surface. You
can just imagine the frog's thoughts: Man, this is all right! This is perfect.
The frog laid in the water contented, happy, and relaxed. But - What the frog
didn't know was that underneath the vat was a raging fire. It was slowly, but
surely, heating the vat of water. The contented frog, oblivious to the changing
temperature, boiled to death.

This story reminds me of how we must not stay contented at where we are. He will constantly challenge us to step out of our comfort zone and it is a choice for us whether we want to remain at the present and not receive the blessing that is waiting for us, or we can obey Him and take that leap of faith.

Ting said yesterday, "God doesn't like to give us tests, he gives us pop quizzes."

And that's true... After you pass a test, you think you've done it all until you realize that you're in the middle of another.

If you are able to identify the test and overcome it, you become stronger.

Over the pass 6 months, everything is passed so fast. Now, everything seems like it's beyond me.

I've grown so much last year spiritually. And I need to be prep up for this year.

Don't want to be like the boiling frog.

While everything is changing around me, I need to be quick and alert.

God help me!
