突破自我,是成功人士的座右銘。我不但如此,還要周圍的學生,子女,突破自我。也成功了!! 滿牆閃閃發光的獎盃,感謝狀,海報,是我ㄧ生的果效。

以前的我,對於動不動就禱告,明明可以想辦法123解決的,靠禱告? 明明就是意志力薄弱。失業,失戀,朋友詐騙,考試失敗,投資失利,家人關係不好,親子問題,情緒問題,失去所愛....靠理性,靠智慧,靠時間,找朋友訴訴苦,找醫生開開藥,睡個好覺,難道不能解決,一定要靠神嗎?

以前在神學院也兼職上了幾年鋼琴課,學生中有的認真,有的整學期忙到不練琴只靠禱告,更讓我哭笑不得。當然對禱告的人,印象更不好。
但是,終於自己到了願意放下自我那一刻,承認軟弱與有限。 願意順服權柄,才明瞭 神如何安慰軟弱的人。

這篇短文,最後的解答~P~U~S~H 是我現在的功課。持續禱告,每一天都是新的一天,沒有負擔,只有平安。同樣 push 完全不同的結果。

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 out 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 his 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? You tried. Quit wasting your time and move on. "

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 child, 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, to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you have done. Now I, my child, 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.
