Is celebration ever a solemn occurrence?

1 Kings 8:62-63Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices to the Lord. . . . So the king and all the people of Israel dedicated the Temple of the Lord.

Dedicating someone or something to God’s use is a celebration, but one marked with a special seriousness of commitment. These times of celebration can be just as meaningful as the joyous times of celebration.
