Get Up!

Today I read Joshua 4:8-8:15 and John 11:1-57. My favorite verses are:

Joshua 7:10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Prayer is vital to a powerful Christian life. God’s children sometimes need to literally fall on their faces before God to confess sin or to intercede for another person or to bring special needs to God and ask for His help. But there comes a time when God tells us to GET UP! We must be busy about His work—obedient to His calling and command. We need to live our lives knowing that they are forever. If we believe in the Son of God, we need not fear death or destruction. He has promised that even death will not separate us from Him and His power. He has conquered every enemy—even death. Believe in God and His Son; then get up and live your life sustained by Their presence.
