Going Up

You'll see one as you walk down the corridor at the hotel, at the state building, at the department store, at the hospital. They are all over the place; what in the world am I talking about, you may ask. At the hotel, state building and the department store it's so small and it only takes one finger to press it, although I have seen some people hit it with the palm of their hand.  What, what is it? Why it's, the up button! You may be thinking, you made me read all that for an up button? Yes; but the question is not about the up button on the elevator. Oh no, it’s our attitude when we got up this morning, did we push the up bottom? Our attitude is our choice; we have the choice to push the up bottom or the down button. We can find the best in what we do, we can search for the best in people, we can praise the good or we can ignore the good and push the down button. We can have the controls to rule our spirit or we can be like a city with broken down walls.
Proverbs 25:28 He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls. Are you going up or are you taking others down? You're in charge! I choose the up button.  My good friend Joe heard it this way; Everyday is like getting on an elevator ; you can go “up” or go “down “; when you wake , (  “ALWAYS CHOOSE THE UP BUTTON “ ) it will make the day much brighter.
