If we are to walk with God, we must pay attention to the smallest and most mundane details of our lives as well as to the great things, as everything we do either pleases or displeases God. In this message, we consider how to walk with God in the things we do to refresh ourselves. We look at two points:
- how we are to eat and drink for God’s glory, and
- how to recreate in a way that glorifies Him.
We are cautioned to make sure our recreations draw us nearer to God and not further away, since anything that draws us away from God is sin. We need to exercise moderation in all things that are lawful and within the bounds of Christian liberty, remembering that the ultimate goal of recreation is to help us in serving the Lord.
