I think that this is a huge question to grapple with and it is an important one to deal with in times of tragedy. Reference: v.27 They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave me birth.' They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!' (NIV Bible)
While it seems like a fairly boring and mundane task at the time, when you look over that book now it's so interesting to see what has happened. Reference: v.64 The whole company numbered 42,360. (NIV Bible)
You don't need to be professionally trained and you don't need to go to classes before hand, you just need to come along and be willing to have a go. Reference: v.11 And rejoice before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name - you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, the Levites in your towns, and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows living among you. (NIV Bible)
We don't just have to wait until momentus occasions to celebrate. Reference: v.27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from where they lived and were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of cymbals, harps and lyres. (NIV Bible)
By Sunday afternoon, my father - no doubt surprised at our extended slovenly behaviour - reminded me that my 16th birthday was not an attempt at a Jewish feast. 1 Kings 8.62-66 Reference: v.65b They celebrated it before the Lord our God for seven days and seven days more, fourteen days in all. (NIV Bible) |
