Day 13: Get Up


Have you ever felt so LOW,

because of

what is happening

 or

because of

what is not happening in your life,

that you just can't get UP?

You wonder how it is even possible

to GET UP,

but you know that you can't stay where you are.  

GET UP anyway!

Make a JOYFUL noise.

A noise that makes your whole body

become alive,

when your whole body

feels lifeless.

But what if you don't FEEL like making a

JOYFUL noise,

until you FEEL JOY?

Do it anyway,

because

JOY is tucked deep down inside you

just waiting to come out,

and you hold the key to release it?

Oh how I have to get out of the way

when I am sitting on the woe is me chair.

When I allow

SORROW

to get the best of me,

and act as if

JOY is a foreign country.

Time is now.

GET UP!

"So come on, my soul, oh, don't you get shy on me.Lift up your song.'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs.GET UP and praise the LORD".*

Oh GET UP!

Such powerful words.

GET UP,

as it is the only place to go

when you are so low.

GET UP,

just like the Psalmist did

after speaking to HIS downcast soul~

"Why are you in despair, O my soul?And why have you become restless and disturbed within me?HOPE in GOD and wait expectantly for HIM,

for I shall again praise HIM,for the help of HIS presence"

 (Proverbs 42:11).

Hmm.

The cries of an HONEST HEART

to the ONE who HEARS all your CRIES.

Have you poured out your HEART to the ONE

who hears your HEART?

Today is the day to

GET UP!

Is there a something or a someone that is keeping you DOWN?

Have you told GOD about it?

GET UP!

I am tired of allowing

 DESPAIR

to GET me DOWN,

when

GOD is

calling me

and

calling you

to

GET UP

because

"I remain confident of this:    I will see the goodness of the LORD    in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD;    be strong and take heart    and wait for the LORD"

(Psalm 27:13-14).

How easily I forget that

we have a

GOOD GOD

who has given us

HOPE

&

JOY

all

SWADDLED

 in

JESUS,

so that

JESUS can SWADDLE us

with

HIS HOPE

&

HIS JOY!

Ready. Get set. Go.

GET UP~

 "I throw up my handsand praise YOU again and again.'Cause all that I have is aHallelujah, hallelujah.And I know it's not much,but I've nothing else fit for a KING, except for a heart singingHallelujah, hallelujah" *

Oh JOYFUL JUNE!

From

 DOWN to UP

is so easy,

and all you have to do is

just

GET UP

in

*"GRATITUDE"
