The 7-Ups
(Unknown Author)
1.) WAKE UP . . . DECIDE TO HAVE A GOOD DAY! "Today
is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalms 118:24)
2.) DRESS UP . . . THE BEST WAY TO DRESS UP IS TO PUT ON
A SMILE! A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look
at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance but the Lord looks at the
heart." (I Samuel 16:7)
3.) SHUT UP . . . SAY NICE THINGS AND LEARN TO LISTEN!
God gave us two ears and one mouth so He must have meant for us to do twice as much
listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." (Proverbs 13:3)
4.) STAND UP . . . FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN! Stand for
something or you will fall for anything. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at
the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good . . ." (Galatians 6:9-10)
5.) LOOK UP . . . TO THE LORD! "I can do everything
through Him who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13)
6.) REACH UP . . . FOR SOMETHING HIGHER! ". . .
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 3:14)
7.) LIFT UP . . . YOUR PRAYERS! "Do not worry about
anything; instead pray about everything." (Philippians 4:6)
"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at
the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a
garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my
righteousness will never fail." (Isaiah 51:6 NIV)
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in
this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for
us."
Romans 5:8 (NIV)
Sin breaks God's laws as well as His heart.
