Perseverance versus Defeat

Looks like Jimmy's toy is just out of his reach. Poor Jimmy.

Have you ever been in a similar situation in which you can see what it is you want, maybe even need, but you just can't quite attain it? How do you know when to hang in there and when to give up? In Jimmy's case, it looks like his paws will never grow long enough to reach what he wants. Since he doesn't have thumbs (and probably deductive reasoning), he can't get something to pull it closer or move the appliance. So he should probably give up. Or should he? Maybe there's another possibility. Maybe some kind soul (like his owners) will come along and help him. Perhaps the solution to your problem you have today means you need to ask for help. I know, I know. I don't like to ask for help either. Recently, I hired someone to mow my yard. It's a little thing but what a difference it makes to my peace of mind. My worry and tiredness over this one little task is so diminshed. Most problems aren't this simple. If you need some help today, and you realize no person can help, then run to the Lord. Not only is He always there, He doesnt' charge you anything.
