Hermit crabs live in borrowed shells their entire life. Since they don’t produce their own shell, they need to find larger ones as their bodies grow larger. This hunt for new home happens on a regular basis throughout its life cycle. A hermit crab might be tempted to stay in its comfortable shell but it can’t because it would die from lack of space. And without a shell, hermit crabs would quickly be eaten by their enemies or perish due to a lack of protection from the elements.
Seeking out a new home is part of a hermit crabs natural life cycle and somehow they always manage to find just the right size shell even though there is often fierce competition among the other crabs. So at just the right time the hermit crab must leave the comfort of the familiar shell and move into a larger one. Searching for the perfect shell can take days or weeks depending on the number of available shells and crab population. One thing is for sure, when a hermit crab changes shells it must let go of the old shell so that it can move into the new one.

If you are currently serving in a paid or volunteer ministry position, I have question for you. Why did you go into ministry? If you think back to why you got involved, there is probably one or two reasons that stand out. You might even remember the time and place when you felt called to ministry. Do you ever wonder if those who quit ministry felt the same call as you did? If so, why did they quit ministry? According to the Christian Post, there are five primary reasons why people quit ministry.
