On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside. (Mark 16: 3-4 NLT)
The problem was huge; their master, teacher and friend was crucified, laid in a tomb with a huge stone at its entrance. It seemed impossible to these women that they could roll away the stone themselves. Some of us would be too troubled to even step forward, and the walk would seem pointless. Who knows, if it was us, we would even stop walking towards the tomb altogether? Or perhaps not because we may be inquisitive to know what happened to our Master. These women continued walking although they knew there was an obstacle.
Many of life’s situations may pose the same question to us..”who will roll away the stone(our present issue/trouble) for ME?” When faced with this question are we weighed down, distressed and broken without energy to step forward? Do we feel lost or nearly lost??
Remember a good disciple trusts GOD no matter what! Even though he may be CRAWLING, he will keep moving. Instead of stoping, having a pity-party, or be depressed and live in the shadow of the blues, let us move towards the obstacle, God can do the impossible. Let us not take everything into our hands to solve, leave something for God to work on….
Do we trust God enough, do we have enough faith in the God who called us…???
If our trust is in Him, if our focus is set on God and not the size of the problem, the same God can bring a timely help, an angel, to roll away that obstacle for us ! But do we have the faith?
