A missionary tells of his experience about being assigned a car that would not start without a push.
After pondering this problem, he devised a plan.
He went to the school near his home, got permission to take some children out of class, and had them push his car off. As he made his rounds, he would either park on a hill or leave the engine running. He used this ingenious procedure for two years.
When a new missionary came to take over his station, he proudly began to explain his arrangement for getting the car started.
As he was talking, the young missionary picked up the hood, only to find that the trouble was a loose cable. He gave the cable a twist, stepped into the car, turned the key, and the engine roared to life.
For two years, needless trouble had become routine, but the power was there all along. The only thing needed was a better connection!
So it is for us as believers. We can walk through this life stumbling and struggling...
