Does Anyone Like January?

Hopefully I have not caused you instant depression by mentioning that we are in the month of January. I am sure some of you enjoy the winter--at least one of you out there has to, right? But here we find ourselves in the month of January. It can be a tough month. Grades tend to lower, our calendar is busy, we are worn out from the busyness of December, and life continues on. 

Many days in our lives don't bring great excitement. Much of any given calendar year includes the normal--the everyday challenges rather than the extraordinary. Oh, we stay busy--that is the American way. However, often January busyness includes the mundane. 

The Christian life is one of endurance. The times of sprinting are flashy, but following the example of Christ means that we are to endure all things that come, for the glory of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 are helpful during this time of the year.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." (ESV)
