Religious ...Can you P.U.S.H.?

[Guest guest]

>PUSH

>A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with

>light and the Savior 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. 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 his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin

>sore, and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.

>

>Seeing that the man was showing signs of discouragement, the Adversary

>decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the man's weary mind:

> " You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't

>budged. Why kill yourself over this? You are never going to move it. "

>

>Thus giving the man the impression that the task was impossible and that 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, 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, and

>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. 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 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.

>

>For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God

>unto salvation to everyone that believes. Romans 1:16 P.U.S.H!
