Rolling Stones

This morning in class, my teacher read something that Amy Carmichael had written. It was talking about how when the women went to Jesus' grave, the task of moving the stone away for themselves would have been very difficult, if not impossible. So God just stepped in and did that much for them. Isn't that amazing to think about? I can just picture those grieving women, grunting and groaning as they tried to roll away a vast and heavy stone, knowing that they were going to see something totally heartbreaking when the job was finally done...But then God just gave another bit of evidence about His grace. He didn't make those women roll away the stone, only to find the sepulchre empty. He did it for them. I think that there's another lesson in this. God doesn't make things any harder on His children than they have to be. He does exactly what needs to be done, and in His wisdom it's always right. As much as we like to lift our faces to the sky and moan "How long, dear Lord? How long will you make us suffer?" all of that angst isn't His will. We should know that just as God sent His angel to roll back the stone, He will never place a burden too great to bear upon our shoulders.
