Have you ever awoke in the morning and as you go to the bathroom to brush your teeth, before starting your day, only to remember that you forgot to stop at the store the day before to pick up toothpaste?
You stand there, staring at the almost empty tube thinking that you are not going to be able to get enough out of it to brush your teeth. Already running late, but you need to brush your teeth before leaving the house. Therefore, you have to figure out a way to get the last ounce of toothpaste out of the tube. So, what do you do? You got it! You start rolling up that tube, so you can get more out of it. The container may look empty; however, we know if we roll it up, that if there is anything left in that tube, it will be pushed out.
There are times in life when you feel like you are at your wit's end. You do not know which way to turn, and you do not know how much more we can take.
Look out now, you are being ROLLED UP.
You feel as though you have cried until you just cannot cry anymore. Everything within you wants to give up. You cry out to the Lord as Elijah did “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life.”
You're being ROLLED UP.
You have exhausted every option you have. You do not know what else to do. You feel totally empty. You do not feel you can take another step. However, something so deep inside is pushing you not to give up.
GOD is ROLLING YOU UP.
You just want to throw your hands up and say, "I have done all I know to do. I've prayed and prayed, yet nothing has changed!" Why do I even keep trying? Well, guess what?
You are being ROLLED UP.
Whatever situation you are facing right now know that you are being ROLLED UP. GOD wants to get more out of you. He knows there is more to you than what you can see, and sometimes He has to ROLL US UP to get it out of us.
This thing that has come to try you, is not to destroy you, but to strengthen you. It is to give you more faith, and more endurance. GOD desires for you to have more praise, more worship and more of a testimony; and sometimes it takes ROLLING US UP to bring it forth.
I do not know about you, but I want to give GOD the very best that I have. If He has to ROLL ME UP to get it, then let His will be done. So, I say to you today be encouraged as the Lord is ROLLING YOU UP because the best is yet to come forth.
ROLL ME UP LORD!

Read and Meditate on God's Word
Job 23:10 - But He knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to His purpose.
1 Peter 4:12-13 - Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
2 Corinthans 4:7-10 - But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of GOD and not of us; in every way having been troubled, but not having been hemmed in; having been perplexed, but not utterly at a loss; having been persecuted, but not having been forsaken; having been thrown down, but not having been destroyed; always bearing about the dying of the Lord Jesus in the body, so that the life of Jesus also might be revealed in our body.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - For this cause we do not faint, but though our outward man perishes, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For the lightness of our present affliction works out for us a far more excellent eternal weight of glory, we not considering the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are not lasting, but the things which are not seen are everlasting.
