08/20/2026 – “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” Philippians 4:4

Celebrate Because It’s The Wrong Time!

Thursday, August 20, 2026

“Rosh Hashanah is known as the Jewish New Year. Rosh HaShanah means Head of The Year. Jewish people greet each other, saying, L’Shanah Tovah – Happy New Year. There’s only one problem – Rosh HaShanah, also known as The Feast of Trumpets, takes place in the 7th month of the Jewish year. That’s a strange place to put a New Year’s celebration. In Exodus 12, God mixed it up. He made the old 7th month, the new New Year and the old New Year, the new 7th month. Why? God wants His people to learn the secret of celebrating at the wrong time. When you’re persecuted, you need to celebrate and count it all joy. When you’re weak, you need to rejoice in the joy of the Lord. When you’re in bondage, trouble, or you’re rejected, celebrate His freedom, peace, and the perfect love that comes through Messiah. Learn the secret of Rosh Hashanah, the mixed-up New Year. Don’t wait for the right time – celebrate, and it will become the right time. Celebrate, because it’s exactly the wrong time. And that’s exactly the right time to celebrate. Happy New Year!” 

From Message #331 – The Mixed up New Year 
Scripture: Philippians 4:4

TODAY’S MISSION – Today, practice celebrating at the wrong time. No matter what’s going on around you – celebrate the Lord and His goodness.
