Matthew 9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
A time comes in our lives that we must do what we haven't done for a long time or ever before. It's dangerous to remain in a spot and allow time to keep going without tangible progress. In today's verse, the sick of the palsy was told to arise before his healing came. He had to arise from the comfort of his sick bed, in the word of Christ, then his healing manifested. What if he waited for evidence? What if he wanted Christ to do it his way, touching him for him to be convinced? Most times, our idea of how God should do it deprive us of the creativity of Divine intervention.
Open up your heart, ready for anything, for your miracle is now. The Lord says 'arise' take your challenges and move. Don't be stocked in a place. Arise and take steps, for in it is your salvation, progress and all-round profits. Don't doubt His word. Arise and shine, your time is now.
Let's pray together.
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for the commandment to arise. We receive strength to arise above every obstacles and conquer all, in Jesus name. Amen.
