A construction worker faced constant ridicule from his colleagues and boss for his devout faith.
A Test of Faith
Every morning, the man would arrive at the job site and take a quiet moment to pray in his car, a simple act that drew mockery from his coworkers. They would point and laugh as they walked by, unable to understand his devotion. The tension escalated one day when his boss confronted him directly, dismissing his beliefs by stating that they, the workers, built everything, not some unseen God.
Standing firm, the man calmly replied, “You believe what you want, but as for me, all things are possible with God.” This quiet confidence only further provoked the boss, who decided to put his faith to a public and seemingly impossible test.
An Impossible Challenge
The boss, with a smirk, pointed to a massive, non-functional crane. He challenged the worker to go start the “dead” machine, pick up a heavy iron beam, and lift it to the sky as proof of his God’s power. The other employees gathered, laughing in amusement at the absurd demand. The worker admitted he had never operated a crane before, but the boss cruelly told him to just ask his God for help.
With silent determination, the man walked towards the crane, the sound of jeers following him. He climbed into the operator’s cab, knowing that the eyes of every skeptic were upon him. It was a moment designed for his humiliation, yet he faced it with unwavering resolve.
A Miracle on the Job Site
Before touching the controls, the worker closed his eyes and prayed. He then turned the key, and in what felt like a moment of silence, the impossible happened: the engine roared to life. The crowd fell silent as the boss and his employees stood in shock. Their laughter was replaced with looks of stunned disbelief as the man skillfully operated the crane, lifting the massive iron beam high into the air.
As he stepped out of the crane, he declared, “This is the God I serve, the God of the impossible.” Witnessing the undeniable miracle, the boss and coworkers were overcome. In a powerful reversal, they shouted that they wanted to serve the same God. His unwavering faith not only moved a machine but also moved the hearts of those who once mocked him.
