A Day to Celebrate!

CELEBRATE MORE
Perhaps we do not celebrate enough - often enough or grandly enough. Perhaps we do not make enough out of the good things God does for us. In Genesis 21 we read that Abraham made a great feast on the day Isaac was weaned. Certainly that was a cultural event. It would seem odd to celebrate the same event today. Yet there are other things we could celebrate within our culture, but we don't.

When was the last time you made a big deal out of something important? Perhaps a high school or college graduation. A successful music recital. Running a marathon.

God has created us with emotions that make life a richer experience for us. Perhaps we should celebrate more--in both quantity and quality.

PRAISE MORE

Celebrate your personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ by giving Him your praise:

I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. O God, You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I declare Your wondrous works.

(Psalm 71:16-17)

WORSHIP MORE
Offer this prayer of worship to the Lord:

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen

(Ephesians 3:20-21)
