God had harsh words for some Old Testament celebrations.
Amos 5:21, 23-24 (NIV)
“I hate, I despise your religious festivals;
your assemblies are a stench to me …
Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!”
I wonder how He feels about our Christmas activities.
Lord God, flood my Christmas celebrations with justice and righteousness. Fill me with love–love for You, love for my neighbor. May my words and actions be acceptable in Your sight.
