Yes, Celebrate

Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!”
20 “The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.”

Go back and reread Luke 2:1-20. Two things among many:  vs 14, the angels sang “peace among those whom God favors.” That’s enough right there. Peace is ours. Too often we shun it, but it’s ours. God’s favor is ours. We walk in his favor. Walking in his favor gives us peace. And it’s all because of Jesus!

Vs20, after seeing the baby the shepherds returned praising God for what they had seen and heard. Every year we celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But every day we can celebrate our salvation because of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Everyday we can celebrate going to him in prayer, and being guided by Holy Spirit. Everyday we can praise him for what we have seen and heard. God’s love for us is personal, and we have a reason to praise him- we have his peace, his favor. That’s good news! And there is more. enough for now
