James, who has been empowered by the grip of the power

of the Lord's word, rises again like a roly poly.

The beggar who used to beg from Peter and John

found himself walking in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

As he walked with Peter and John into the temple,

he praised God by walking and leaping and remained close to Peter and John

(Acts 3:1-11).

Whenever I was spiritually depressed

to the point where I could not rise and walk on my own,

like the beggar unable to rise and walk,

the Lord revived my heart with the promise of the five loaves and two fish

from the Gospel of John 6:1-15, and He restored me again

(Isaiah 57:15, Psalms 119:107).

Thus, being empowered by the grip of the power of the Lord's word,

I have risen again like a roly poly.

I not only hold fast to the promise of His word

but also pray to be even more captivated by His word and guided by it.
