推与推动（P.U.S.H）

　　全心全力去推动一件事，却长时间看不见任何果效，这是很叫人沮丧和难过的。
　　如果你也有这样的烦恼，看一看这篇网上转载的文章。

　　神告诉一个人，他有件事情要这个人做。这事情就是每天用全力去推一个如山般的大石头。于是这人就每天这样的去做，从日出到日落，月月年年。许多年过去了，石头没有丝毫移动。撒旦就来跟他说，“你看你，这么用力推这石头推了这么长时间，它一点没动。你真没用。你不可能推动这石头的了。别再那么卖力了”。这人想放弃了，但是他决定先来问问神。“主啊，”他说，“我已经尽我的全力来做你叫我做的这件事情，但是过了这么久我一点都没推动这石头。哪里出错了？我为什么这样失败？”

　　主深情地对他说：“我的朋友，我交给你这个任务，你也接受了，那时候我告诉你你的任务是用你的全力来推这块石头，你也这样做了。我从来没有跟你说我希望你能推动它。你的任务只是去推它。现在你来跟我说，你尽了全力，却失败了。真的是这样吗？看看你自己，你的手臂多强壮，肌肉多发达，你的膀臂又滑又黝亮，你的双手刚硬，你的腿又粗又壮。经过这些，你成长了许多，你现在的能力远远超过当时的你所有的。你确实没有推动这石头，可是你得到的呼召是要顺服，去推这石头，来操练你对我的智慧的信心和信靠。你已经这样做了。现在，我的朋友，我就移去这石头。”

　　多少时候，我们听到神跟我们说的话，我们用自己的智力来推断他所要的，而神实际上要的只是对他的信心和顺服。所以，只管全力操练那能让我们把山挪移的信心，同时谨记真正能挪移大山的，是神。

　　所以，
　　当事情好像出错的时候　——只管 P.U.S.H.
　　当工作让你沮丧的时候　——只管 P.U.S.H.
　　当别人没有象你希望他们那样做的时候　——只管 P.U.S.H.
　　当别人不理解你的时候　——只管 P.U.S.H.

　　P = Pray
　　U = Until
　　S = Something
　　H = Happens

　　P.U.S.H　—— Pray until something happens: 祷告，直到一些事情发生为止。

　　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 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.
