Push 4 life,
a man was sleeping at night at 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 sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock,pushing with all of 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:
"you have been pushing against the 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 troubold thoughts to the lord.
"Lord," he said, i have labourd 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 millimetre. 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 the 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 is strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hand are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massave 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 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 tent to use our own intrllect to decipher what he wants, when usually what God wants is just a simple obedience and faith in him. by all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains.

I would imagine it is, Pray, Understand, Show Faith, and Humbly Obey. Of course I could very easily be wrong, though I am 100% confident, P is for Pray.

U is for Understand, though I think that may be wrong now.
S is for Show Faith.
and H is for Humbly Obey.
at least that is what I was thinking yesterday.
Prayer, Understanding, Service(Submit), Humility.
It is hard for me to guess, time for hints.

If you're a devil-worshipper, does it stand for "Please Unleash Satanic Horrors"?
Here's one for you...would it be "Place Unquestioning Sureness in Him?"

This is indeed a beautiful story and it teaches me a lot about trust in Him. Yes, there are many a times we feel bad when things do not go our way, but then let each of us understand that He has something better lined up for us, and that we in our ignorance do not understand His ways. This has happened to me, and when I look back, I see why and thank God for His mercy, though at that time I am feeling really bad and sorry for myself.
PUSH - Let me see- Could it be Put Yourself in His Hands ?
Thanks for this wonderful story.
