Entertainment>God?

Entertainment often comes into our mind when we are bored. Entertainment distracts me from stress and mundane routines in my life. Watching wrestling and soccer, reading soccer and online mangas seem to bring colours in my life since young. However, what is the real purpose that entertainment serves in life?

The answer is that there is no real purpose behind entertainment if we only seek entertainment as our soul refresher. I have been seeking entertainment for joy vigorously ever since A Levels ended, and i realised that ultimately it results in idleness and lost.

I pray for my friends that they will learn not to dream fantasies. Rather i pray that they dream of miracles that God can bestow upon our lives. For me, i pray that God will grant self-control. A self-control that establishes strong discipline which will then pulverise sinful thoughts and indolence in our lives . Galatians 5:23 " Gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Rejoice, because when we attain these characteristics of the Holy Spirit, God is nearer than before.

Be Magnified:
Verse 1
I have made You too small in my eyes
Oh Lord, forgive me
And I have believed in a lie
That You are unable to help me.
But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong
Heal my heart and show Yourself strong
And in my eyes and with my song
Oh Lord, be magnified (bis)

Chorus:Be magnified, Oh Lord
You are highly exalted
And there is nothing
You can't do
Oh Lord, my eyes are on You
Be magnified,
Oh Lord, be magnified

Verse 2
I have leaned on a wisdom of men
Oh Lord, forgive me
And I have responded to them
Instead of Your light and Your mercy
But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong
Heal my heart and show yourself strong
And in my eyes and in my song
Oh Lord be magnified (bis)

May God be magnified in our lives!
