How many of you have seen movies where the hero is being beat down by his adversary? It looks like they are down, dead, and the like. But somehow in the end, the hero gets up and ends up defeating the opponent. Though life is not like a movie, one thing about this scenario holds true for the Christian. The fight is fixed, but we have to stay in it. If we operate in faith, regardless of what we are feeling right now, we can get up from our feelings of defeat and depression. Hence, my word for today is that it is time to get up.

God will give strength and might to those who are in need. Even if the enemy has you down now, you can still get up. You can get up and overcome what has had you bound. Remember the story of the man whose friends let him down through the roof. Jesus said to the man two things. First, He told him that his sins were forgiven. Second, He told him to take up his bed and walk. On today, know that Jesus has forgiven you so that you do not have to remain where you are. Also, it is time for you to get up and handle what has been carrying you (like the man and his bed). It is time to get up!
