Now what?

A huge let down has occurred in our household.  The Green Bay Packers season is over with a crashing thud of a game against the NY Giants.  The excitement for another run to the Superbowl is over.  It’s hard to root for the other guy as the weeks progress to the culmination of the game but it is football, so rah rah!

The month of January is similar to this feeling of “LET DOWN”.  The high of Christmas and all its festivities has gone and we are left with the remains of Christmas.  Maybe a toy has broken already; the cookies and Christmas snacks are gone and we are back to the same mundane menu and activities.   The question to look at is, Now what?

The Christmas celebration marks the beginning of the Church year and sets us on our way in the continuation of learning from God’s Word.  Now What? is a pretty easy question to answer.  Now, we make our way with Jesus along his path of being our Savior.  Now we learn about the power of Jesus as he does miracles, teaches and preaches to the people and leads his perfect life for us.  Now we follow the words of Jesus as we love our neighbors, pray for those who are against us and proudly proclaim the message of Jesus to everyone.

January isn’t a time to sit back and wait until things get rolling again around Easter.  Now is the time to jump into the Word and continue your walk with the Lord.  Resolve to develop a personal devotion time this month so you can be in the Word daily.  Drop a tv show and pick up a Bible to see what God promises!   His promises always come true!
