Celebrate the Wins

Scripture:

Ezra 3:10. “When the builders completed the foundation of the Lord’s Temple, the priests put on their robes and took their places to blow their trumpets. And the Levites, descendants of Asaph, clashed their cymbals to praise the Lord, just as King David had prescribed.”
‭‭
Observation:

When God’s people began to rebuild the Temple that had been torn down, they rejoiced when the foundation was complete.  They had a great celebration.  Old people who had seen the old Temple were crying and young people were celebrating because the Temple was being rebuilt.

Application:

It is good to celebrate the wins in life.  It gives momentum when we celebrate the forward advances God gives us.  We should periodically have times when we celebrate what the Lord has done for us.  We should honor Him in this way.  It is beautiful when God’s people have a thanksgiving time and celebrate the goodness of God and give testimony to what He has done.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to take time to celebrate the wins for You and Your kingdom.  I know I tend to just keep moving forward and pushing through the next thing, but help me to step back and celebrate the things You are doing in our midst.

Yours,
Jeff
