GET UP!
From SLAVERY!
Isaiah 52 Amplified Bible
Cheer for Downtrodden Zion
1
Awake, awake,
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
For the uncircumcised and the unclean
Will no longer come into you.
2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise,
O captive Jerusalem;
Rid yourself of the chains around your neck,
O captive Daughter of Zion.
3 For the Lord says this, “You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed, but
not with money.”
4 For the Lord God says this, “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live
there; and [many years later Sennacherib] the Assyrian oppressed them without
cause.
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,
Together they shout for joy;
For they will see face to face
The return of the Lord to Zion.
12 For you will not go out in a hurry [as when you left Egypt],
Nor will you go in flight [fleeing, as you did from the Egyptians];
For the Lord will go before you,
And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
GET UP!
FROM SICKNESS
John 5 Amplified Bible
The Healing at Bethesda
5
There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When
Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition
a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?” 7 The invalid answered, “Sir,
I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am
coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me.” 8 Jesus said
to him, “Get up; pick up your pallet and walk.” 9 Immediately the man was healed
and recovered his strength, and [c]picked up his pallet and walked.
Now that day was the Sabbath.
Mark 2 Amplified Bible
10
But so that you may know that the [c]Son of Man has the authority and poweron earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralyzed man,
11
“I say to you, get up, pick up your mat and go home.”
12
And he got up and immediately picked up the mat and went out before them
all, so that they all were astonished and they glorified and praised God,
saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
GET UP!
FROM DEFEAT
Joshua 7 Amplified Bible
Israel Is Defeated at Ai
6
Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell face downward on the ground before the ark
of the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and [with great sorrow] they
put dust on their heads. 7 Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord [a]God, why have You brought
this people across the Jordan at all, only to hand us over to the Amorites, todestroy us? If only we had been willing to live beyond the Jordan! 8 O Lord, what
can I say now that [the army of] Israel has turned back [in retreat and fled]
before their enemies? 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will
hear about it, and will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what
will You do for Your great name [to keep it from dishonor]?”
10 So the Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why is it that you have fallen on your face?
11 Israel has sinned; they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded
them [to keep]. They have even taken some of the things under the ban, and they
have both stolen and [b]denied [the theft]. Moreover, they have also put the stolen
objects among their own things.
