The seven “Ups”
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 Sam 16:7
3 . Shut Up
Say nice things and 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.
“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. “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength” Phillipians 4:13
6 . Reach Up
For something higher. As Jiminy Cricket sings “High Hopes” Always try to better yourself. Have FAITH. “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1
7 . Lift Up
Your Prayers. “Do not worry about anything; instead pray about everything” Phillipians 4:6
