(Proverbs 14:14 KJV) The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
As I read this through it struck me that you don’t know real boredom until you become a “backslider” (5472). There is a sense in which being “filled” (7646) seems good, like on Thanksgiving, but have you noticed that after a certain point the taste starts to go down hill and eating more becomes a habit rather than a fulfillment? Maybe it never hit you. Maybe you are one of those who knows when to stop. I salute you.
Why are the ungodly of the world so focused on entertainment? It could be that they are easily bored because they are only concerned with self-gratification.
So? Bored? Get outside yourself. Find someone to serve. Find a way to give of yourself. Try obedience. You want excitement? Stand up in a school board meeting and read a Bible verse about homosexuality.
