Celebrate

our babygrand

"Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is bringing a message of peace. Celebrate!" (Nahum 1:15)

Babygrand turns one on Saturday, but we celebrated a week early. Happy first birthday, sweet, little man!

The word celebrate as a verb means to acknowledge a significant or happy day or event with a social gathering or enjoyable activity.

In the Old Testament book of Nahum (ever  heard of him?), according to The Bible Project commentary: "this short prophetic book is a collection of poems that announce the downfall of one of Israel's worst oppressors, the ancient empire of Assyria and its capital city, Ninevah...Nahum describes the downfall of the bad guys as "good news for the remnant of God's people" and  encourages them to celebrate!

According to Revelation 20:19, the Day is coming when our worst enemy, the evil, deceiving, old devil, will be thrown down into the fiery lake of burning sulfur forever and ever, and God's people will celebrate!

"Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or a roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder:

Praise the Lord!

For the Lord our god, the Almighty, reigns.

Let us be glad and rejoice,

and let us give honor to Him."

(Revelation 19:6-7)

Never fear, beloved, our happily-ever-after it coming!
