The 7 Ups!

1. Wake Up !!

Decide to have a good day.
"This 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 Christ who strengthens me".
Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!
. . . For something higher.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path."
Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!
. . . Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead
PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
Philippians 4:6

Being Here For a Reason
So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared." Genesis 32:30The Bible says Satan works ‘day and night’ building a case against you (Revelations 12:10). But with God’s Word ‘... in your mouth and... heart... ’ (Romans 10:8) you can overcome him. How do I do that?
When Satan says give up, God says stay the course (Matthew 5:11-12).
When Satan tells you to look out for number one, God says put the other guy first (Philippians 2:3-4).
When Satan says it’s okay to hold grudges, God says forgive as often as it takes (Matthew6:14-15).
When Satan says get even, God says be a peacemaker (Romans 12:18-19).
When Satan tells you to take all the credit, God says glorify Jesus (John 17:5). When Satan says clean up the outside and people won’t notice the inside, God says He looks at your heart (1Samuel 16:7).
When Satan says you’re ugly, God says you’re ‘... wonderfully made... ’ (Psalm 139:14).
When Satan says you’re alone and nobody understands you, God says He’ll never leave you and that He has plans for your life (Deuteronomy 31:6 and Jeremiah 29:11).
The Psalmist said, ‘I know you are pleased with me... you have not let my enemies triumph over me. You have preserved my life... ’ (Psalm 41:11-12).
The devil will play the race card, and if that doesn’t work he’ll try the childhood memories card, or he’ll dredge up your past sins and remind you of all the broken promises and dreams. Jacob said, ‘I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared.’
Bottom line: God has a plan for your life; otherwise you wouldn’t be here!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me stay with Your plan for my life and not someone else’s. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Always a Place for God

In our everyday lives we often pass through a variety of experiences and emotions. Some are stronger than others, and there are some days that seem bland in comparison to others. We can "turn on a dime" from happy to sad, joyful to depressed, content to painful as we all readily know. The Bible explains that there are times that may last moments, days, weeks or longer, but eventually there is a time for every emotion we can think of .

Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens"

An unknown author noted that in every moment, there is a place for God. They wrote: "In happy moments, praise God. In difficult moments, seek God. In quiet moments, worship God. In painful moments, trust God. And in every moment, thank God." There is always a place for God in our lives.

³⁸For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, ³⁹neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

"Jesus said, You are the salt of the earth....You are the light of the world...let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:13, 14,16

Jesus tells us that this can be done in a twofold way. First, as the salt of the earth, we should prevent that which is negative. That's what salt does. It prevents corruption and spoilage. Second, we should be light, doing the positive work of dispelling darkness.

We prevent corruption, malice, strife, injustice, lies, hatred, and other sinful practices. We can encourage the advancement of truth, justice, and love, which reflect the values of those who are part of the kingdom of God.

Leroy Barber works with kids in the city. “The drug kingpin knows their name, and the pastor does not. The teachers at school don’t think they can learn, but they conquer the ‘street classes’ just fine. The street culture always pursues and welcomes them, but the doors of the church are open only on Sunday. The church wants them neat and clean, but the streets take them as they are.” (“Unchristian,” p. 63-64)

“The people began to mutter, ‘He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” (Luke 19:7) Why would anyone bother with a church if it doesn’t show its neighborhood the searching love of Christ?
