DANGERS OF IDLENESS
Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 11:1-7

Idleness is staying without doing anything useful. It involves a great deal of spending resources yet not accomplishing any productive goal.

It was never intended for man to be idle, in the beginning God, the creator put man I the Garden at the East of Eden and told him to keep it. (Genesis 2:15)

So there’s work you should be doing per time.

1 Chronicles 12:32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…

Idleness they say is the devil’s workshop because if you’re not working on productive things, the devil takes advantage of you, because he comes to steal, kill and destroy…

We saw how He did this to David and others in the past …This disadvantage can only be recovered by God’s mercy and grace.
Christ Jesus on the other hand wants us enjoy #Eternal life (a life knowing the Father experientially) and invest in this life daily. (Gal. 6:5, Jn 10:10; 17:3)

What are you investing your time in?
Set your heart to understanding what God’s will(per time/season of your day/life and do it.
…Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes. 17 And don’t live foolishly for then you will have discernment to fully understand God’s will.  Ephesians 5:16b, 17
(The Passion Translation)
