Psalm 106:44-48

Psalm 106:44-48
English Standard Version (ESV)

  What happens when a team wins the World Series?  They throw a parade.  What do we do to celebrate a holiday?  Parades.
  Parades are miles-long celebrations of a holiday or event.  They are festive and joyous and colorful, and people of every age join in, whether they are participants or just viewers.
  When we think of celebrating God, we are called to give thanks and celebrate all that God is.  Worship should be a joyous occasion, a remembering of how God honors his promises and will be forever victorious.
  Following God is not always easy, and there are often joyless times, but faithfully enduring the valleys leads us to the mountaintops, where we celebrate God!

May we lift our hearts to the Lord
