Entertainment or Jesus?

Random thought of the day:

Does your heart desire the entertainment of this world or the fellowship with Jesus Christ?

I asked myself that question today while I was driving up to a football game with a friend. In our society today we thrive off entertainment, what catches our eye on tv or other sources of entertainment. For example: We spend alot of time going to football games, keeping up with all the players, and acting crazy while cheering on our favorite team. We put alot ofenergy into the game and sometimes can become very angry over things that should not have any meaning in life whatsoever. We waste our time focusing on sports, TV, gadgets (computer, cell phones, ipods, etc.) and other entertainment. The question is: are these things really making us happy or is it leaving our hearts void? So I myself had to question myself when going to a football game; wondering if I was going to get more excited about a football game and not focus on what really matters, what truly can fill my heart. Jesus is the only one that can fill the void in our hearts, give us happiness which is why we should be more excited about Him more than entertainment of this world. We should all ask ourselves are we putting in the time and energy in having fellowship with Jesus as much or even more time than we do filling up our time with worldy entertainment, such as in my life football becomes the distraction.

Pastor Deaton always says: "Live for Jesus, because thats all that matters." I truly believe He is what we should focus on and not get wrapped up in useless entertainment. Simple: be more energic about Jesus and less energic about other things.
