Thoughts To Ponder

A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify.
 A never dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky.
 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill;
 O may it all my powers engage, To do my Master's will.

Fight Boredom!

by Stephen Rouse
 

bore (bôr)- To make weary by being dull, repetitive, or tedious.

It's summertime. Some people have jobs. Some people have camp. But, when stuff isn't going on, most people just get bored. I have been bored so many times that once, on a whim, I was moved to write a song about it (not sure where it is, though). But I digress. I come here to urge you to consider this:

As Christians, we DO NOT have the right to be bored.

That hurts to think about. But guess what? There's more work here to do than can EVER be done. Consider these areas:

· Preaching to the lost - Guys, there are hundreds, if not thousands of people that we come into contact with on a regular basis that NEED, above all else, to hear about what this life is really about. Who have you talked to in the last week about Christ? How many were Christians? How many were of the lost? Preaching the Word is not an option. Challenge yourself.

· Studying God's Word - How many hours have you spent staring at a TV/computer screen this summer? How many hours have you spent being enriched by God's Word? And not just because you were at Church services or at camp Bible classes. Because you wanted to. Because "faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ", or because you think: "O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day." Challenge yourself.

· Praying to God - And not just at mealtimes or in the morning or when you go to bed. If you had written all the prayers you've said to God this week, how many pages would it fill? Not that length is everything, but how much are we pouring our heart out to our Creator? And not just asking for help or thanking Him. Those come quite naturally. How about just praising Him for as long as you can without repeating yourself? The psalmist claims: "Seven times a day I praise You, because of Your righteous ordinances." Challenge yourself.

Guys, with SO much to do, whether it's preaching Christ, encouraging one another, praying, studying, praising God, singing, or any number of spiritual activities, we just DON'T have time to be BORED.

It has been said that "An idle (bored) mind is the devil's workshop." If we're filling our lives with spiritual things and dwelling on them, Satan will have much less of a chance to tempt us and bring us down.

So, in conclusion, DON'T BE BORED. If I ever tell you I'm bored, do please reprimand me, because I fall short here. Alot. Encourage each other. Let's serve the Lord together. Let's go to Heaven together. We don't know how much time we have: live each day like it's your last.

"But encourage one another day after day, so long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end." -Hebrews 3:13-14
