22 Ways Christians Think Differently on Life - No. 15 Why Christians are never bored

Scientific American carries an article saying, "

Bored to Death: Chronically Bored People Exhibit Higher Risk-Taking Behavior." It continues to read, "Our culture's obsession with external sources of entertainment—TV, movies, the Internet, video games—may also play a role in increasing boredom. "I think there is something about our modern experience of sensory overload where there is not the chance and ability to figure out what your interests, what your passions are," says John Eastwood, a clinical psychologist at York University in Toronto."

The problem of boredom is prevalent not just among the people of modern days but of old days. In the day of King Solomon they did not have TV, movies, nor the Internet. Yet, with all of his knowledge, wisdom, wealth, and power, still Solomon was bored to death. 

But Christians are not so. For them with or without TV, movies, the Internet, money, political power, etc. since they have the fellowship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and since the Father loves his children, they derive the joy of life (in good times and in bad times) streaming from the Father who is the constant source of ever deeper and higher levels of satisfaction.  Psalm 27:4

I think Mozart's Laudate Dominum is a musical presentation of this point.  The lyrics are Latin, but there is English translation online. I suppose Mozart understood the point - the Father as the eternal source of true "entertainment" (even in the worst of sufferings.) Perhaps this is why his music is not bored? 

Laudate Dominum Lyrics
Laudate Dominum omnes gentes;Laudate eum, omnes populi.Quoniam confirmata estSuper nos misericordia ejus,Et veritas Domini manet in aeternum. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper.Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Laudate Dominum English Translation

Praise the Lord, all nations;
Praise Him, all people.
For He has bestowed
His mercy upon us,
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever,
and for generations of generations.
Amen.

P.S. : In the Bible you cannot find the word 'boredom' or 'bored' in the sense of feeling bored getting sick and tired of this side of life. In NIV 1984 version the word 'bored' appears only once, but in the sense of drilling a hole [into an offering box]. 2Ki 12:9
