“Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news,
who proclaims peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah,
and fulfill your vows. No more will the wicked invade you;
they will be completely destroyed” Nahum 1:15
Sometimes we tend to think that people are the ones who dreamed up joy and laughter. We place God in our “serious box,” and set Him aside when we want to have fun.
But He tells us to celebrate the festivals! We have been given the best news of all—the peace of God has been brought to us. Because of Jesus, goodness has triumphed, and we have found freedom.
How can I stay silent when the Son of God has come into my life?
What kind of celebrations are worthy of the King of Kings?
Will I offer Him my own joyous praise?
Family Activity: Look for old or recent joyful music Blurays, DVDs, ipad or CDs etc. Connect to your speakers. Enjoy quality hour of praise together as a family.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help our hearts find true and pure joy in your presence. As we lift our hands in worship, thanksgiving and praise, receive our gifts today. Pour out your blessings upon us.
