PHILIPPIANS 04 ; 06
Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
One day a man was sleeping in his cabin when suddenly God appeared unto him, and the Lord told him i have work for you to do, and He showed the man a large rock in front of his cabin.
The Lord explained that the man was to push the rock with all his might. So, this the man did, day after day. The man did this for many years but the rock seem not to move from it place, so he grew tired and got discouraged.Feeling that he's wasting his time.
Since the man was discouraged, Satan decided to enter into the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind; "you have been pushing this 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 full of failure.These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. Satan said, why kill yourself over this?"
The man decided to make it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to the Lord. "Lord", he said,"i have labored long in and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do what you asked me, yet after all this time, i have not even moved the rock by a half millimeter. What is wrong? why am i failing?"
The Lord responded compassionately,My servant, when i asked you to serve me and you accepted, i told you your task was to push against the rock with all you strength, which you've done. I didn't ask you to move it. Your task was to push. Now you have come to me and you think you have failed? Look at yourself. Your arms are now strong and muscled, your legs have become massive and hard, your hands and whole being is very strong now.
Through opposition look at how strong you are now, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. Yet you haven't moved the rock. Your calling was to be obedient and to exercise your faith and trust in my wisdom. And this you have done. Now i, will move the rock for you my servant.
MORAL LESSON
A times when we hear a word from God, we intend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually God wants is just a simple obedience and faith in Him. Just exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is GOD who moves mountains.
