Just P.U.S.H.
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 man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of
Prayer and to 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
shiny 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. 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.
