Make The Choice To Celebrate!

THE CHOICE TO CELEBRATE…

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

CELEBRATE: to rejoice, acknowledge enjoyable things, to give honor, exuberance, to praise, to tell, to publish.

Life is to be celebrated… You make daily choices… You choose the clothes that you wear? You choose your hair style? DO YOU REALIZE YOU CHOSE THE WORDS THAT YOU SPEAK? The words that you speak can set your attitudes?

JOY IS A CHOICE! Today has we need to celebrate the divine purpose of life…

Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24 (NIV) This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24 (MSG) This is the very day GOD acted— let's celebrate and be festive!

CELEBRATE: YOU DETERMINE THE DISTANCE YOU WALK FROM GOD.THE FARTHER YOU ARE FROM GOD THE MORE YOU SEE THE FAULTS OF OTHERS.

THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO GOD THE MORE YOU SEE YOUR FAULTS… Draw nigh!

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

The farther you are from God the more you are tempted… The closer to GOD THE MORE YOU ARE PERSECUTED…

WE SHOULD CELEBRATE. SIGNS OF THE TIME? REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH

DO YOU CRY A LOT? We sang a song years ago, IT’S MY PARTY AND I CAN CRY IF I WANT TO…

DO WE SPEND TIME CELEBRATING BEING LONELY? SOMEONE NEEDS YOU NOW!

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Someone feels so alone today? Someone is discouraged and depressed? Someone is under a HEAVY LOAD? Someone has lost all hope? Celebrate life with them.

CELEBRATING GOD’S PLAN WILL HELP US TO STAND FIRM AND STANDFAST.

Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
