"Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness." -1 Chronicles 16:28-29
When the Israelites successfully crossed the Red Sea - safe - delivered - from the oppression of hundreds of years of slavery and captivity at the hand of the Egyptians, God instructed them to celebrate.
Have you ever thought of that?
God instructed them to party! Feast! Celebrate the miracle! And don't just celebrate it once. Celebrate it once a year, forever and ever. That is what the feast of Passover is - a party - a celebration rejoicing and remembering what God did.Remembering and rejoicing that God is a mighty, powerful God!
Remembering and rejoicing that God is a merciful, redeeming God!
Remembering and rejoicing that God is a God for whom nothing is impossible! Remembering and rejoicing in the miracle of Passover, a miracle of yesterday so we can believe in miracles, in God's power, God's providence, God's love today and forever!
So - celebrate the miracles! Celebrate the miracles of yesterday and today. Rejoice in them. And, invite people to the party - let others know that you are rejoicing so they can also see God's power and providence.
Rejoice in the miracles of yesterday and today so God can get the glory forever!

PRAYER:
Lord, I worship You! I sing praises of worship to You. You have saved me! You have not forgotten me. Glory to Your name. I praise and worship You, today and forever! Amen.
