Push!
A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when
suddenly his room filled with Light,
and God appeared. The Lord told the man he had work for
him to do,
and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin.
The Lord explained that the man was to push against the
rock with all his might.
So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he
toiled from
sun up to sun down; his shoulders set squarely against
the cold, massive
surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his
might.
Each night, the man returned to his cabin sore and worn
out, feeling that
his whole day had been spent in vain.
Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary
(Satan) decided
to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary
mind:
"you have been pushing gainst that rock for a long
time, and it hasn't moved."
Thus, giving the man the impression that the task
was impossible and the he was a failure.
These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the
man.
"Why kill myself over this?" he thought.
"I'll just put in my time, giving just the minimum
effort; and that will be good enough." And that is
what he planned to do, until one day he decided to make
it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to
the Lord. Lord,
" he said, "I have labored long and hard in
your service, putting all my strength to do that which
you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even
budged that rock by half a millimeter.
What is wrong? Why am I failing?"
The Lord responded compassionately, "My friend, when
I asked you to serve
Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was
to push against the rock
with all of your strength, which you have done.
Never once did I mention to
you that I expected you to move it. Your task was
to push. And now you come
to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have
failed. But, is that really so?
Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your
back sinewy and brown,
your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs
have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have
grown much, and your abilities now surpass that
which you used to have. Yet you haven't moved the rock.
But your calling was to be obedient and to push and
to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. This you
have done.Now I, My friend, will now move the rock."
At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use
our own intellect
to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants
is just a simple
obedience and faith in Him. By all means, exercise the
faith that moves
mountains, but know that it is still God who moves
mountains.
When everything seems to go wrong ... just P.U.S.H.!
When the job gets you down ... just P.U.S.H.!
When people don't react the way you think they should...
just P.U.S.H.!
When your money looks "gone" and the bills are
due...just P.U.S.H!
When people just don't understand you ... just P.U.S.H.!
P= Pray
U= Until
S= Something
