Get Up and Get Out
Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who will wait for him! Isaiah 30:18
Get up and get out! Get out of yourself, get out of worry, get out of fear, get out of depression, get out of ‘what if’ – get out of the pit. Today if you are feeling trapped I encourage you to get up and read the Word of God.
Regardless of how we got to this place often we find ourselves mentally trapped in a pit of negative thoughts. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, salvation belongs to you. He did not promise you a life of worry but He did promise a land filled with ever green grass. Even if you have a history of trying to get out but still fall back in, today is the day freedom has arrived.
Even if you think that you don’t deserve it, today is the day you begin to see life through your spiritual eyes. Even if you are afraid, you don’t know what life will be like outside of your pit because you’ve lived in it all your life, there is no day like the present to start a new chapter.
Today see beyond the distractions and find peace in the Word of God. Don’t be condemned by the past, don’t be afraid of the messiness, just find yourself reading. Recognize that in this life there will be things that will keep you from getting to know Him but if your heart years to be closer to God, you will have to spit it out.
In Jesus’ name…Amen
