Just Push!

JUST PUSH

A woman was sleeping  one night in her house when suddenly her room filled with light, and God appeared. The Lord told the  woman that  he had work for her to do, and showed her a large rock in front of her house. The Lord explained that the woman was to Push against the rock with all her might...

So, this the woman did, day after day. For many years she toiled from sunup to sundown, her shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all her might!

Each night the woman returned to her home  sore and worn out, Feeling that her whole day had been spent in vain. Since the woman was showing
discouragement, the Adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by
placing thoughts into the weary mind: (He will do it every time)!

You have been pushing against that rock for a long time and it hasn't
moved." Thus, he gave her  the impression that the task was
impossible and that she was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and
disheartened the woman.

Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving
just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough."

That's what the weary woman  planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of Prayer and to take her troubled thoughts to The Lord.

"Lord," she 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 well built; your hands are solid from
constant pressure, your legs have become firm and hard.

Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass
that which you used to have. True, 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. That you have done. Now I, my friend, will 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 simple
obedience and faith in Him.

By all means, exercise the Faith that moves mountains, but know that it
is still God Who moves The Mountains.
