The document provides 7 pieces of life advice based on biblical verses. Each piece is labeled as a "7-up of life": 1) Wake up with a positive attitude, 2) Dress up with a smile rather than outward appearances, 3) Shut up by listening more than talking and avoiding gossip, 4) Stand up for your beliefs, 5) Look up to God for strength, 6) Reach up to better yourself, and 7) Lift up prayers to God without worry. The overarching message is to have a good day by following biblical principles.
2. #1 Wake up
Decide to have a good day. "Today is the
day the Lord hath made, let us rejoice &
be glad in it"
Psalms 118:24
3. #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
4. #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. "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
5. #4 Stand Up
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
6. #5 Look Up
Look up to the Lord. "I can do everything
through Him who gives me strength"
Philippians 4:13
7. #6 Reach Up
Reach up for something higher. As Jiminy
Cricket sings "High Hopes"
Always try to better yourself.
8. #7 Lift Up
Lift up your Prayers. "Do not worry about
anything; instead PRAY ABOUT
EVERYTHING"
Philippians 4:6
