** JUST PUSH ***


**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 sunup to sundown, 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. Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the man's weary mind: (He will do it every time!)**

** 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 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.**

**When everything seems to go
wrong.............................

We are perpetually being told that what is wanted is a strong man who will do things. What is really wanted is a strong man whowill undo things;and that will be the real

test of strength.
