From a friends status:
A few of the reasons we celebrate Hanukkah: To remind us not to compromise obedience to God’s Word, to fitting in with the world.
To remind us that it is better to worship God than obey man, even if that means death.
To remind us that our God is a God of miracles (in large things like military battles and small things like 8 days of oil)
To remind us that obedience in every moment is important and that we must leave our tomorrows in God’s hands and do what is required in THIS day.
To remind us that God does care about obedience as found in His Word.
To remind us that Jesus is the light of the world.
