The 7 Ups of Life Summary

Summary

“Let us lift up our hearts with our hands unto God is in the heavens.”

a. Being “up” isn’t difficult. It does require a conscious effort on our part to involve God in our daily lives.

b. We must first wake up with the realization we have been given the gift of another day to serve God and advance His kingdom.

c. We must dress up with the smile that comes from the knowledge that God is all in all.

d. We must shut up when it is appropriate, not saying things we shouldn’t.

e. We must stand up for God and our belief in His son.

f. We must look up to Him for our every need, our every problem.

g. We must reach up to Him. When everything or everyone else fails us, we know we can depend on Him.

h. And, finally, we must lift up to Him not just all our burdens and cares, but also our gratitude for what He has done for us.

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...
