Danger of Boredom Aug.17

Danger of Boredom

Boredom becomes an enemy and leads to destructive decisions.

And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.” [Luke 15:13, NKJV].

Here was a young man who appeared to get bored, took his inheritance from his father and wasted all of it.

1.   His freedom at home must have become tiresome.
2.   Self-will led him into a different world.
3.   Money became an extension of the self.
4.   He hit the law of diminishing returns.
5.   After scattering what he gathered, he returned home broken.
That thing that keeps us slaves to our own desires, whether boredom or money, always ends in prideful result.


Thank goodness, Heavenly Father gives us do overs.
