Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 >> was a young woman who was invited to go >>rock climbing. Although she was very scared, she >>went with her group to a tremendous granite >>cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the >>gear, took a hold on the rope, and started up >>the face of that rock. >> >>Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a >>breather. As she was hanging on there, the >>safety rope snapped against 's eye and >>knocked out her contact lens. >> >>Well, here she is, on a rock ledge, with >>hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet >>above her. Of course, she looked and looked >>and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, >>but it just wasn't there. >> >>Here she was, far from home, her sight now >>blurry. She was desperate and began to get >>upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to >>find it. >> >>When she got to the top, a friend examined her >>eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was >>no contact lens to be found. She sat down, >>despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting >>for the rest of them to make it up the face of >>the cliff. >> >>She looked out across range after range of >>mountains, thinking of that verse that says, " The >>eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the >>whole earth. " She thought, " Lord, You can see >>all these mountains. You know every stone and >>leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens >>is. Please help me. " >> >>Finally, they walked down the trail to the >>bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of >>climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. >>One of them shouted out, " Hey, you guys! Anybody >>lose a contact lens? " >> >>Well, that would be startling enough, but you >>know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving >>slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it >>on it's back. >> >> told me that her father is a cartoonist. >>When she told him the incredible story of the >>ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew >>a picture of an ant lugging that contact lens >>with the words, " Lord, I don't know why You want >>me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and >>it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You >>want me to do, I'll carry it for You. " >> >>I think it would probably do some of us good to >>occasionally say, " God, I don't know why you >>want me to carry this load. I can see no good >>in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if you want >>me to carry it, I will. " >> >>God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the >>called. Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of >>existence and my savior. He keeps me functioning >>each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, >>but with Him...I can do all things through >>Christ which strengthens me.
