As I transition through the time God has given me in the physical world I have become progressively more aware of His power working in my life.
Before I started following Jesus I looked at nature and my environment from a very carnal and hedonistic perspective.
I viewed work as a necessary burden that I was required to do in order to provide the financial resources necessary to support my needs and desire for pleasure. I resisted boredom by squandering time, energy and resources to conquer it.
When the Lord rescued me from the kingdom of darkness and I started following Jesus I began to see things differently. My desires, along with the things I did to conquer boredom, began to change.
My focus, however, remained on the material realm and I still had a problem with inactivity. Stillness, silence and idleness seemed like a waste of time and I filled it with religious activity.
After many years of living by faith in God, I began to value solitude and silence. Now, living with a steady awareness of His presence, I find great pleasure in observing how He is at work in the lives of my family, friends and me.
I find myself liberated from boredom because every waking moment with Him is an adventure.
