Understanding Celebration

Day 1: Understanding Celebration

Scripture Reading:

• Psalm 100
• Luke 15:11-32 (The Parable of the Prodigal Son)

Devotional:
Celebration is more than just fun and games; it's an expression of heavenly joy here on earth. By celebrating, we honor God and His people, mirroring the joy that is in heaven. In Luke 15, we see the celebration of the father upon the return of his son, illustrating God’s joy when His children come home.

Study Points:

• Examination of how celebration is expressed in biblical narratives.
• The significance of joy in the Christian life.
• Differences between worldly celebration and spiritual celebration.

Application:

• Identify areas in your life where you can incorporate more celebration with thankful hearts, whether in small daily victories or significant life events.

Reflection Questions:

1. How do you currently practice celebration in your life?
2. In what ways does celebrating God and others affect your spiritual journey?
3. What can you learn from the father’s celebration in Luke 15?
