The Journey

"Your voice is clearer now then it has been for two years." That is what was said to me tonight after preaching.

What a joy to stand behind the pulpit and share God's word. I began a series tonight entitled "UP".

Tonight it was "GET UP". When Paul was stoned and left for dead the believers gathered around him and he "GOT UP". Acts 14:19-20 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowds to their side. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of town, thinking he was dead. But as the believers gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe. NLT

You never know what your part of helping someone get up will be. A kind word, a prayer, a handshake or some other kind gesture just may be what helps someone to get up from being knocked down by the enemy.

Being knocked down can come any many forms and ways but it is not being knocked down that will keep you out of commission; it is not getting back up.

I want to encourage you today to get back up. I know it can be easier said then done but the good news is, IT CAN BE DONE. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Let's "GET UP" together.

Blessings,
Rick
