“…with any trial He will give you a way out of it” (I Corinthians 12:13).
Flea trainers have observed a predictable and strange habit of fleas while training them. Fleas are trained by putting them in a cardboard box with a top on it. The fleas will jump up and hit the top of the cardboard box over and over and over again. As they jump and hit the lid, something very interesting becomes obvious. The fleas continue to jump, but they are no longer jumping high enough to hit the top. Apparently, the repeated collision with the box lid conditions them to limit the height of their jump. Even when the lid is removed, the fleas continue to jump, but they will not jump out of the box. They won’t jump out because they can’t jump out. Why? The reason is simple. Having conditioned themselves to jump just so high, and no higher, that’s all they can do!
