YOU GOT TO GET UP=JUST ONE MORE TIME



















YOU GOT TO GET UP -
JUST ONE MORE TIME


Did you ever THINK
That SUCCESS in life- means
Getting UP-just ONE MORE TIME


Than you get knocked down?


There was a PROFESSIONAL BOXER-
Once=who got knocked down
TEN times in a fight


You know what-he got up-
AGAIN & AGAIN-
And he WON the fight
In the end


MY FRIENDS-life is going
To KICK your butt-and
You know what
You just HAVE TO
KEEP getting back up


That is SUCCESS in life=
That is what Jesus did


NOT even death could
Contain him


“GUIDE your servant-therefore-
An understanding heart
To JUDGE your people


And to DISTINGUISH
Right form wrong” 1 KINGS 3:9


You GOT to get up
Just ONE MORE TIME
Than you get knocked down
And you WILL BE
A SUCCESS in life
In whatever you do


“The warden PAID no attention
To ANYTHING under Joseph's care


Because the Lord
Was WITH Joseph
And gave him SUCCESS


In whatever he did” Genesis 39:23


“As LONG
As he SOUGHT the Lord


GOD GAVE HIM SUCCESS” 2 Chronicles 26:5


Our lives are TOUGH
And we are going to FAIL
From time to time


You need skill
You need luck
And MOST of all
YOU NEED GOD


And you need to make
The EFFORT to get UP
Just ONE MORE TIME than
You fall


“But brothers and sisters
When we were orphaned
By being SEPARATED from you
For a short time
(in person=NOT in thought)


Out if intense longing
We made EVERY EFFORT
To see you” 1 Thessalonians 2:17


FAILURE in life-demands PRAYERS
For patience and WISDOM-
WE really do need wisdom
To NAVIGATE this life
To KNOW HOW and when
To get back up-
To MAKE the effort all over again


“For WISDOM
Is more PRECIOUS than rubies


And NOTHING you desire
Can COMPARE to her” Proverbs 8:11


I ASK the dear Lord
To FORGIVE me my FLAWS-
And you and yours too


And it IS IN our flaws
That we FIND the wisdom


And in that WISDOM-
We GET UP JUST ONE MORE TIME


My FRIENDS-if we do that-
We are a SUCCESS-
JUST LIKE JESUS
