Many times I find myself sitting wondering what to do for the day. I pray and wait and then for whatever reason, I find myself restless. I know that the dreadful word of boredom is coming and that as a Christian and a child of God, the word bored should never be a part of my vocabulary.

The Bible says in Ephesians 5:16 and 17 “to redeem the time because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.???

God is working His perfect will in each of our lives. He has a purpose and direction for us to go. If we are to call ourselves strong Christians, we must be aware of this. This means daily spending time with God to hear His call and direction for our day. Even though we spend a lot of time consuming them, TV or other forms of pleasure are definitely not our answer. They are simple the byproducts to the work of God in our lives.

God is definitely working right now in your life, maybe it’s a season of being still, maybe He has you ministering to a friend, or maybe you are being ministered to by a friend. It could be that God is asking you to pray for others; the President, Congress, Pastors, Teachers, Celebrities, maybe Britney Spears. Who knows, but as the body of Christ we all have our purpose, we are all supposed to redeem the time because the days are evil. We’re not here to be bored but to be Holy, and seek God’s will for our life today. Spend as much time as you need with Him. Listen to Him and be obedient to His call today. There is so much work to be done, Christian. We must find our purpose in Jesus, not worldly pleasures.
