Rise Again
Micah 7:8, “Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise: when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.”
Good morning! I am sending good vibes to you on this day; whether the weather is good or bad; the day can hold positivity if we only speak it! If you are finding yourself struggling; stop, take a deep breath, then find your prayer spot and call on the Father who is ready and willing to come meet you in your time of need. This is a day to work your way to happiness. Maybe you have let every day trials gain control and push in negative feelings and emotions. Now is the time to rise up against whatever the devil is throwing in your direction and claim your life back! God never promised that life would be a piece of cake; but He did say that He would always be there to get us through every obstacle the devil pushes into our path! Today I came to remember a song from my childhood that was a constant; one that I as well as friends would perform at church. The words spoke volumes as the writer talked as if he were Jesus telling the world that no matter what, He would rise again! Through every trial, obstacle; Jesus rose and continued speaking the gospel; He never gave in. When He was battered, mocked, hung on a cross, His message was the same. He knew that following God was the only true way to get to eternity and we needed to keep pushing to reach that same goal! He sacrificed so we might live! When we are troubled, seek God; then we rise. If the world pushes us to fail; seek God; then we rise again. No matter the situation; whether bullying, mocking intelligence, ridicule of our social class, (low, middle, upper monetary means) degrading our educational background; we can rise again. The true way to overcome is to put our trust in God at all times! By having faith in Him, and following His instruction, we can truly rise again! Take time today to pray for those who work to bring you down. Then let God have the authority over your life to help lead you on your positive journey to keep on rising!
