A man was sleeping at night in
his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light. 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 against that rock for a
long time, and it hasn't moved."
Thus, giving the man the impression that
the task was impossible and that he was a failure These thoughts discouraged
and disheartened the man 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 he planned to do, but 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, my friend, I
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 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.
