Who will move the stone for us?

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” Mark 16:1-3 (NIV)

It may be all of human being question at one point of their life, especially those who are prosecuted because of Jesus’ name. Who will move the stone for me? In broken relationships, in financial struggles, in losing the loved once, in different challenges of life in general when we feel helpless we ask the same question that Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome asked when they are going to the tomb.

But after they were discussing about the stone while looking at each other suddenly they took a moment to look up. They lifted up their eyes from themselves and looked up. And then, on verse 4 it continues “But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.” After the decisive word “BUT” everything has changed.

Are you in that moment? Do you feel that there is a stone that block you from the entrance of your victory? Do you feel that it is too big to be moved away? Then lift your eyes up, as the Psalmist said it in Psalm 121, your help comes from the Lord. The risen King is your helper and He neither slumber nor sleep. Keep your faith and continue trusting Him. Because He is ALIVE and watch over you. No stone is too big for Him to be moved. 

Psalm 121 (NIV)

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
    he will watch over your life;

8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.
