Get Up.

MORNING THOUGHTS☕️

I sure hope our nephew doesn’t mind me using this picture…it’s one of my faves. And, this morning when I read a line in Deuteronomy…it felt super appropriate.

Here’s the line:

“Get up and resume the journey.” - Deuteronomy 10:11

Yeah. Preaching that one to myself.

I remember trying to learn to ski when I was little. I think I drank more water than was safe…and each time, when I couldn’t get up, I felt a little more defeated. And each time, my father would circle that boat around and say “you’ve almost got it…go again.”

I never wanted to. I wanted to hop back in the boat, get a dry towel, curl up in a seat and just ride.

Perhaps you, like me, have felt knocked down this past season. You’ve gulped down too much water, tried to get up too many times, felt super defeated and wanted to quit…only to hear the Father say “you’ve almost got it…go again.”

And guess what?! We have a whole cloud of witnesses cheering us on. They gulped water and got knocked down, too.

So let’s put on those skies (gospel of peace), cinch up that life vest (armor), grab hold of that rope (hope) and hang on.

It’s time to get up and resume the journey.
