P.U.S.H.

A man was sleeping one 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 wore 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 his weary mind:
"You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't
moved."
Thus, he gave 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 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 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. 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.
