[Guest guest]

Dear Samratchanites,

Bye,

A man was sleeping at 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 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 the 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 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 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 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.
