The Christmas Slump

It’s kind of sad when Christmas is over! The presents have been given, the food has been eaten, and the light-up reindeer has to go back in the attic.

Well, if you’re in the Christmas slump, I want to encourage you with this verse from Isaiah:

“Behold, I am doing a new thing;

  now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

   and rivers in the desert.“

This verse always helps me with the post-Christmas blues. It reminds me that God is never finished. That He is constantly renewing us, each and every day.

So as you’re packing up your light-up reindeer, or returning gifts, start asking God what new things He’s going to do in your life this next year.
