The Four Spiritual Secrets MBC Daily Devotional A Formula for Faithfulness “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” - (1 Corinthians 4:2) Paul declared that the greatest virtue of a servant of the Lord is faithfulness. The story is told of a man who was told by God to push against a huge rock as his primary work for a lifetime. The man did that and exhausted, burned out and discouraged told the Lord that rock had not moved a centimeter. The Lord responded that He had not told the man to move the rock, but to push against it. He made the observation that pushing against the rock had given him a strong healthy and muscular body. God knew all along that only He could move that rock. This leads to an acrostic based on the word push. It goes like this: P- Pray U- Until S- Something H- Happens I am now living in by 82nd year of life. One of the observations I have made in my long life is that God is our Mentor. He is always teaching us and He is fiercely committed to the proposition that we are going to grow spiritually and in every other way. He deliberately assigns us tasks that are not only difficult but impossible knowing that those tasks will grow and mature us into a faithful servant He can use to do through us what only He can do in this world. Another observation without which I could not function as a human being or especially as a pastor is what I call four spiritual secrets. They are that I’m not, I can’t, I don’t even want to but He is He can He wants to and He does. So push and pray until He does work through you.
