[Anthony D'Arienzo]

Attend to yourself, so that you may know the state of your soul.



Attend to your neighbor, so that you would know how to love him.

Attend to God, so that you may grow in your knowledge and enjoyment of Him.

God’s word is not silent on the use of free time. Ultimately, it is not ours to spend how we wish, but a gift given to us by God that we must steward. God claims ownership over all of our time, we must use it to glorify Him (1 Cor. 10:31). Indeed, He tells us to redeem the time (Eph. 5:16).

So, in your quarantine, consider how you might spend it to cultivate attention, fight distraction, and grow in the knowledge of God. In addition to investing time in prayer and Bible reading

 

[Anthony D'Arienzo]

What we do when we could do anything has a particularly strong impact on who we are as people. Our hobbies shape our desires, tastes, preferences, hopes, and fears. Just as continued use of hammer will form calluses on the hand or consistent exercise will build strong muscles, so the way we spend our free time spent will shape our soul.

What do you do if you find yourself quarantined at home for fourteen days? How will you spend your time? Will you nap? Will you Netflix and chill? Will you scroll social media? Will you practice an instrument? Will you exercise? Will you learn to cook? The possibilities are vast.

For some of us the prospect of fourteen days off is exciting (we’ll finally be able to get everything done we’ve been planning to do), for others it is daunting (we have no idea how to fill those fourteen empty voids). For all of us that time will be spent, one way or another, the only question is – will it be wasted or invested?

Here is my plea to you: Do not waste your quarantine.

Excellent advice!

Excellent advice!

It is a well written article and very timely.
The thing is we should already be all about this.
Many are at ease in Zion,like those in the day of Amos.

Sorry, do you mean your post/article, or was there an intended link somewhere? (either way, yes, your post was written very well)

The thing is we should already be all about this.

Without a doubt. Although, it does seem though that most people on this forum are daily Bible readers, and theological students of some sort (private or formal)

Many are at ease in Zion,like those in the day of Amos.

Yes, complacency and/or indifference will cause the fall of many.
