The Stone Already Rolled Away
The Stone Already Rolled Away
Tuesday
And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large.
— Mark 16:3-4 (ESV)

“Who will roll away the stone for us?” the women asked one another. It was a legitimate concern—the stone was very large. But when they looked up, the obstacle they dreaded had already been removed. God often works ahead of us. The barriers we lose sleep over are frequently already handled by the time we arrive. The women’s worry was understandable but unnecessary. Today, consider the “stones” in your path—the obstacles that feel immovable. Financial burdens, relational fractures, health concerns, vocational uncertainty. God may not remove every stone on your timeline, but He is never surprised by them. Trust that the same power that rolled away the stone from Christ’s tomb is at work in your circumstances.
Reflection:
What impossible obstacle are you worrying about that God may already be addressing?

Pray:
Father, help me to look up instead of looking down. Teach me to trust Your timing and Your power. Amen.
Father, help me to look up instead of looking down. Teach me to trust Your timing and Your power. Amen.
