to extend, to stretch, to make movement toward,
to press toward
to attain, to achieve, to connect, to touch, to
grasp

6. REACH UP!
Now what I am commanding you today is not
too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is
not up in heaven, so that you have to ask,“Who
will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it
to us so we may obey it?” Nor is it beyond the
sea, so that you have to ask,“Who will cross the
sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey
it?” No, the word is very near you; it is in your
mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
Deuteronomy 30:11

7. REACH UP!
I reach out for your commands, which I
love, that I may meditate on your
decrees.
Psalm 119:48

8. REACH UP!
A week later his disciples were in the house again,
and Thomas was with them.Though the doors
were locked, Jesus came and stood among them
and said,“Peace be with you!” Then he said to
Thomas,“Put your finger here; see my hands.
Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop
doubting and believe.”
Thomas said to him,“My Lord and my God!”
John 20:27

9. REACH UP!
From one man he made all the nations, that they
should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked
out their appointed times in history and the
boundaries of their lands. God did this so that
they would seek him and perhaps reach out for
him and find him, though he is not far from any
one of us.
Acts 17:26-27

10. How was your Up Reach in

11. How can you improve your
Up Reach in 2016?

12. REACH OUT!
He will stand and shepherd his flock
in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his
greatness
will reach to the ends of the earth
Micah 5:4
