Weekend Wisdom and Worship

Posted By: Missy  //  Category: scripture, weekend worship

I recently received this in an e-mail. I often do not forward e-mails or pay much attention to them, but this one spoke to me and I thought it had a great message. I hope it speaks to you as well. Happy Sunday!

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~
A POSITIVE THOUGHT
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring, and a sunrise every morning.

Whenever you want to talk, He’ll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem ;
Not to mention that Friday at Calvary .

Face it, He’s crazy about you.

Weekend Wisdom and Worship

Posted By: Missy  //  Category: Nicole Nordeman, Psalm 139, weekend worship, worship music

I got the opportunity to go to a women’s brunch yesterday at our church. The women’s ministry leaders try to do at least one of these every quarter for the women in our church.

As always, I had a great time. I was filled up with God’s love and with fellowship. The speaker gave us a little taste of what the winter/spring bible study has in store for us. I am excited by the content, but I am not really sure about it all together. The study is by Kay Arthur and being a newer believer, it is sometimes overwhelming to do one of her studies.

For the closing of the brunch, we were left with a song and a video. The song was I Am from Nicole Nordeman and the slide show had been put together by one of the ministry leads. I haven’t heard this song before (although I love Nicole) and it was a beautiful song. I was left with tears in my eyes and felt truly filled with an understanding of my Father’s love.

While I couldn’t get the slide show that I saw at the brunch, I searched for the song and for a similar, wonderfully done slide show. Here is what I found. I hope you are as touched and moved as I was.
