This
is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation, you must
celebrate it as a special festival to the Lord. This is a law for all
time. For seven days the bread you eat
must be made without yeast. On the first day of the festival, remove every
trace of yeast from your homes. Anyone who eats bread made with yeast during
the seven days of the festival will be cut off from the community of Israel. On the
first day of the festival and again on the seventh day, all the people must
observe an official day for holy assembly. No work of any kind may be done on
these days except in the preparation of food.
We need to remember.
The passage above is about a celebration that God called His people to
have each and every year. There was that
time when God actually sent judgment on a community where the oldest child of
the family would die, but if a family did something extra, their child would
live.
This celebration was for the grace God gave to those
families that followed His way. Their
child didn’t die. Their families were
saved from great pain.
Have you and your family come through times where there
was much pain? Was their a time when
your family experienced a miracle or saw God doe something extra ordinary? Most of us have.
We need to remember.
We need to tell others. Our
stories have been put together, given by God, so that others can see, hear and
come to know the goodness of our God.
He dives us times to remember. He gives us times to celebrate.
Have you noticed the link? The celebration is not about a child
saved. The celebration is specifically
about the goodness and the greatness of God.
We need to remember. We need to
share.
Let’s celebrate all that God has done for each of us!
Joshua
4:6 NLT
We
will use these stones to build a memorial. In the
future your children will ask you,
‘What do these stones mean?’
