Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt knocked down by what life dished out? In those knocked down times it’s sure easy to temporarily forget the power of God. I don’t want to forget that the earth was created by the power of God’s words. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (Gen. 1:3) I sure don’t want to forget God’s power to raise people from the dead! But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!” Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. (Luke 8:54-55) God willingly wants to empower you, even in the knocked down times, by reassuring you that He created you, sees you, takes your hand, has compassion on you and whispers in your heart, “Get up! Move on. I’ve got this.”
