KNOW THE PROBLEM OF YOUR LIFE

A missionary named Herbert Jackson, while in foreign mission was given a car that wouldn’t start without a push. After pondering his problem, he devised a plan. He went to a school near his home, got permission to take some children out of class, and had them give his car a push to get it started. As he traveled around the area, he would either park on a hill or leave the engine running. Sometimes he would get other children to help him push it to get it started. He used this ingenious procedure for 2 years. 

At the end of two years, however, he needed to return to his home country because of health problems and a new missionary came to replace him.

Of course, the car stayed with the new missionary, and so Jackson began to explain his arrangement for getting the car started. As he did so, the new man began looking under the hood. 

“Why, Dr. Jackson, I believe the only trouble is this loose cable.”
He gave the cable a twist, stepped into the car, pushed the switch and to Jackson’s astonishment, the engine roared to life.

For 2 years, the only trouble with that car was a loose connection. The power was there all the time.  

It’s just that Jackson didn’t realize how to access it.

How about us? Are we aware of the possibility and power within? Or do we unnecessarily look for ways to keep ourselves going?
