~ ~ ~ SCRIPTURE REFERENCE - ECCLESIASTES 2:24 ~ ~ ~ When the word 'Christian' is brought up today, images flood our minds of fuddy-duddy people that will do nothing but keep their noses stuck in their Bibles. While that is commendable, the Christian life is so much more than that. Today's passage even tells us that fun itself is from the hand of God; we just have to discern wisely what is godly and what is not. For example, going out on a roadtrip to the mountains could be a wonderful way to have fun and still meditate on God's provision and creativity. Observing the mountains and the deep slope into the valley reminds us that God is with us no matter what stage of life we are in. It also reminds us that God is our Creator and He alone rules it all. He also gave us dominion over His creation. Take this into consideration; taking dominion does not mean trampling over things that are lesser than us. Fun can also mean gardening to tend to the Lord's ground, caring for the animals such as dogs, cats, and horses. Speaking of animals, what about a trip to the zoo? That would be an awesome opportunity to show the children in your life what all God has created. Fun with each other as a family in Christ is also important. Church events and corporate worship were meant for Christians to get together and enjoy the things of God; not sit sourly in a pew until the service is over. So yes, God intends for all Christians to have some sort of fun. He intended for us to rest and enjoy life. What kind of activities do you like doing that honors the Lord while still having fun?
