Get up and Walk.

Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your bed and walk.” -John 5:8

In this story, Jesus came to a man who had been in the same poor physical condition for years. He had given up on life. Jesus asked the man one simple question, "Do you want to get better?" The man had a decision to make. As a human being living in this crazy world you also have a decision to make. You can choose to continue living life on the ground, or you can get up, pick up your bed and walk. My friend, I think it is time for you to throw in the towel and yell, "Enough is enough." You are a child of God. Its time to get up and fight with every ounce of your being. With this attitude you will be able to accomplish anything, gain victory over your struggles,and receive blessings from the Lord.  
Today is that day. Its time for you to get up. Its time for you to walk. You don't have to remain living on the ground any longer, my friend. Life is hard, there is no doubt about it. However, we serve a God that is ultimately bigger than any problems we will ever face. He will give us the amount of strength we need to overcome any struggle this life will bring you.

GET UP TODAY AND WALK.

Give Others Jesus

In Acts 3:1:6, we read. .

" One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer-- at three in the

afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, 'Look at us!' So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk'. "

As I read this passage of scripture last night the Lord spoke to me about giving. So often I feel like I have nothing to give others. After reading this last night I discovered that I was wrong. I realized that I have everything to give others. I have Jesus. Peter and John didn't have silver or gold to give the beggar, they had Jesus. They gave the man what they had, and what they had was all he needed. This passage challenges me to share Jesus with others in every situation and every circumstance. Jesus is all anyone needs in this world. Jesus is the answer to all of our problems. I challenge you to share Jesus with others. Whether its through your speech, through your actions, through prayer. Give others Jesus.
