A frog at the bottom of a well lives in a small dark world. It cannot see much light. The frog does not know that there is a bigger, better, beautiful world outside the well. This proverb means that people often think in the same way as the frog. We only 'see' the things that are near to us, and do not understand that anything else can be true or real.
But God has a whole new world waiting for us, and he wants us to 'get out of the well' and find it. Just as a frog cannot easily get out of a well unless someone pulls it up, Jesus is the one who can lift us out of our 'well'. In the book of Psalms the singer writes about God: "You listened and pulled me from a lonely pit (hole or well) full of mud... You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm, and you gave me a new song."
