As we journey through Lent, a time traditionally for reflection and repentance, it’s also important to remember the aspects of worship and celebration. Jesus calls us the light of the world, a reminder that our faith is not meant to be hidden but celebrated and shared with others.

Worship is such a powerful way to let our light shine. When we gather to worship, whether in the church, at home, in public, or in nature, we are openly celebrating our faith and giving glory to God. Our worship is a testament to our belief and an invitation for others to join in the celebration of God’s love and grace.

Celebration in worship can take many forms-singing hymns and praise songs, praying, reading scripture, and even acts of service. Each of these actions, done in the spirit of worship, truly illuminates the joy, passion, and love of Jesus Christ in our lives. During this season of lent, let us not only reflect inwardly but also express our faith outwardly through joyous worship and celebration of our Savior.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, during this Lenten season, help us to worship You with hearts full of joy and celebration. Let our worship be a light that shines brightly, drawing others to Your love and grace. May our actions in worship and our lives reflect Your glory and bring honor to Your name. Amen.

I encourage you this week to incorporate an element of celebration into your worship. It could be singing your favorite hymn or praise song, sharing a testimony of God’s goodness in your life or someone else’s, or an act of kindness as an expression of your faith. Let your worship be a light that shines brightly for all to see.
