Get to Your Feet

Acts 26:16
Now get to your feet! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and witness. You are to tell the world what you have seen and what I will show you in the future.

After the Lord struck Paul down, He called him to action (get to your feet), He revealed his assignment to him (servant and witness) and He told where to go (the world) to fulfill his calling.  The Lord, who is a respecter on no man, will take each of His followers through the same process.  

He will strike us down or allow us to be taken down so that we will turn to Him and not to the world.  He will call us to action. He will reveal to us in our spirits how he wishes to use us and direct us to where He wants us to take up His good work.  Through our relationship with Jesus, we will receive the direction that we need to fulfill the unique purposes for which God has created us.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, give us the strength to rejoice and respond in victory to all the events in our lives.  Show us how to draw our strength and direction from you each day.  Make all these things possible by drawing us deeper and deeper into our relationship with Your Son.
