Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-17

John 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”

Have you ever heard the saying, “you made your bed, now you have to lay in it”? Not only do we think we have to lay in it, we may even try to drag others in to lay in that bed with us. You know, come keep us company. Supposedly misery loves company. Sometimes we even get comfortable in our misery.

Well, apparently Jesus doesn’t feel that way!

As a matter of fact, He would rather have us get up, get out of that bed and walk away.

So many times we think our mess is too much. There is no way we can turn it around. So we just lay there for days, months and even years. How much of our life do we waste, believing that it is what it is?

We need a little brotherly love reminder today.

We may be absolutely correct in the fact that the mess we made is too much for us to fix. But, we don’t do this alone. We do this with our Helper, the Holy Spirit.

John 14:16 (NKJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever

He has been offered to each one of us NO matter how bad we messed things up. What are we going to do?

Just as the man needed to take a huge step of faith, pick up his bed and walk, we too need to do the same if we want to see change, if we truly want healing, deliverance and to be set free.

It’s up to us. Will we rise up and walk?
