OT - THE SEVEN UPS (RELIGIOUS CONTENT)

[Guest guest]

1. Wake Up - Decide to have a good day. Don't let bad weather make it a bad day.

If you decide it will be good, so shall it be.

" Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice & 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. Never mind if your clothes look used or

if the house is old. What counts is what is inside and a smile will reflect true

happiness from within.

" The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward

appearance but the Lord looks at the heart " . I Sam 16:7

3. Shut Up - Say nice things & learn to listen. God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth

so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. And don't

just listen with your ears, but with your heart as well.

" He who guards his lips guards his soul " Proverbs 13:3 " Gossip betrays

confidence avoid men who talk too much " Proverbs 20:19 " Listen to advice, accept

instruction and in the end, you will be wise " Proverbs 19:20

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. Don't look to money to give you what you think you

need.What you buy with money will not get you into Heaven.

" I can do everthing through Him who gives me strength " Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up - For something higher. Set your goals for something more important

than social or financial stautus.

Strive for that which will give you rewards eternal...press toward the mark for

the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. " Philippians 3:14

7. Lift Up - Your Prayers. Give up your stresses and strains in prayer and do

not dwell on them. Let yourself be unburdened and given thanks for all that is

good in your life.

" Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT

EVERYTHING " Philippians 4:6

These bits of wisdom were shared with me today,and I thought I would share them

with those who love God. Have a blessed day and remember the 7-ups of life.
