Beating The Post-Christmas Blues

The Blazing Center @ http://www.theblazingcenter.com has some helpful tips to beat the Post-Christmas blues.

Follow the advice of the Psalmist:
In Psalm 43:4 we read, “Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you…” Do you want to avoid feeling deflated after Christmas? Go to God your exceeding joy. Be very intentional about finding your deepest and sweetest joy in God himself. Don’t look for joy in family, friends, presents, Christmas dinner, or anything else. Find your joy in God.

How do you do this? Here’s one practical suggestion:

At some point on Christmas, spend time with God, your exceeding joy. If you can, spend some personal time reading God’s word and praying. As you spend time with God, you’ll find yourself refreshed and filled with the joy that only God can give.

Don’t let the Christmas blues rule you on Christmas. Go to God, your exceeding joy, and find true satisfaction.
