How to Celebrate!

 Numbers 28:26 “On the day of the firstfruits, when you offer a grain offering of new grain to the Lord at your Feast of Weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work, 27 but offer a burnt offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord: two bulls from the herd, one ram, seven male lambs a year old; 28 also their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah for each bull, two tenths for one ram, 29 a tenth for each of the seven lambs; 30 with one male goat, to make atonement for you. 31 Besides the regular burnt offering and its grain offering, you shall offer them and their drink offering. See that they are without blemish.

Every culture has its celebrations. Some have many days throughout the year that they commemorate which have accumulated over the centuries.  God had brought His people out of bondage so they could worship and celebrate. This chapter discusses the daily, weekly (sabbath), monthly, and annual sacrifices and celebrations. Every day is a day to worship God and celebrate his blessings, but every week, month, and year there are special times and ways to do so. We have done so this past week with our celebration of the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ. God has provided our salvation and life eternal. May we learn and remember to celebrate well.
