Can a bumblebee fly?

Can a bumblebee fly?

That was the question that a District Overseer asked a group of pioneers in the pioneer meeting. 

 

"Can a bumblebee Fly?" 

Of course most of the pioneers thought for a minute but then all nodded yes. Bumblebees fly.Then he said that actually they can't. Not according to scientists. Scientifically and aerodynamically speaking, everything about the bumblebee, its shape and body weight compared to its ultra light wings indicates that it should NOT be able to fly at all.But nobody told the little bumblebee that he can't fly, so he goes on about his business, flying anyway.

So, why does the bumblebee fly??? 

Because our Creator makes it fly!Then he asked, "Can you pioneer?" The answer is.."Of course not. Not according to the pressures and trials, the demands of this system." 

So how is it that we are able to pioneer? 

The answer is ..."Because our Creator causes us to pioneer".The point is there is NOTHING we can do on our own.

With EVERYTHING we can only accomplish things with the Creators help.The District Overseer talked about Peter walking on water. 

We know it wasn't an act of faith. 

Peter was only able to walk on water because of Jesus. 

Then he saw the storm coming and he fell through the water and almost drowned."Sometimes we think too hard" The D.O . Said, "Were so busy in Jehovah's Service doing so many things no one thought we could do, not even ourselves some days.

In essence we're walking on water because of Jehovah. 

Then we start thinking,..."wait a minute, what am I doing? I'm pioneering, I'm working, I've got so much stuff to do around the house, I've got kids, meeting parts...OH NO!

This is all of the sudden getting really hard the more I think about it! 

Oh, I'm getting sooooooo tired! I'm not supposed to be doing all this, it's just too much.

My goodness! I'm falling through the water." 

"What a good point this is, isn't it?" He said. "Sometimes we discourage ourselves by thinking too much, worrying too much, looking at the storm and taking our eyes off of the one who makes the bumblebee fly."
