“…but thou hast been weary of me.”~ Isa. 43:22
I’ve noticed more and more believers seem to be, to put it in their words, bored with their Christian lives. This is especially true among those thirty and under. Why is this? My personal opinion is that they got too much too soon, whether it be position or prosperity. It seems to me many want to enjoy the benefits of the aged without putting in their time. Appreciation comes from waiting.
The kings of old had court jesters that they used to cheer and prop them up when they were bored with all their blessings. Evidently, it did not dawn on them that the down side of life is as necessary as the upside. I’ve also noticed those who want to be on the mountaintop all the time invariably think of themselves as special and deserving of something the rest of us are not.
Everything and everyone connected with Christianity can become a bore, if one’s relationship with Jesus Christ is not right. It is He that is the spice of life. It is He, and He alone, who lights up one’s life. You do not have to be constantly entertained in His presence. He is always new and fresh. And He is never boring.
When God is the center of your life, you can lose everything, as Habakkuk of old and still rejoice in Him. Out of the ugly ashes of loss, you’ll always have “the beauty of the Lord.” Isa. 61:3
