One of my favorite ministers, Corey Russell says, "Gods not boring, you're boring. The Bibles not boring, you're boring." He is one hundred percent correct on that matter. I used to be bored while reading the Bible until I began to realize the revelation that I got through it. When I asked Him to give me insight and revelation of His word it became entertainment to me. There is comedy stringing throughout the Bible with sarcasm of Paul, and an in your face style of James. The Bible is the greatest romance ever written John 3:16 For God so loved the world... He has such a love for us that He sent His son to die for us for cleanse of of our sins. Micah 7:18 states that His anger is for a moment, and that He delights in giving mercy. Some of us do not even show the ones we love mercy, and hold on to grudges until death. He forgives us of our trespasses and pardons our iniquities. The Song of Solomon is a love story that parallels the Bridegroom reality. The woman in the story is the Bride of Christ, and the the man, or Bridegroom is Christ.
Song 5:8
If you find my beloved, That you tell him I am lovesick!
She is asking the Daughter of Jerusalem to tell her beloved if they find Him that she is lovesick for Him. Throughout the entire book it is one long sappy love story, but it pertains to the heart that we need to have for Him and the heart He has for us. Love is riddled throughout the Bible. I am not, repeat am not knocking on women, but the need to live through a love fantasy on a movie worries me. I am not talking about all women, so if that isn't you ignore this. Some women watch these movies that have men whisking women off their feet with luxurious fairy tale plots, and then they use it as a guideline for what they need to happen. I am not saying men should not be chivalrous, or romantic but this fairy tale fantasy has to go. We need to get back to reality and the real world, and understand that these things rarely happen. They get so caught up in what happened in a movie that no man can live up to the expectation that the women have. Enough of that rant, and yet again I am not talking about all women just the few that the rule applies to. The media brainwashes us in to believing in a fantasy world instead of the Bridegroom reality that is a pure love.
As for action I do not even know where to begin. It talks about how Saul killed thousands, but David tens of thousands. David went up against Goliath for one as a young teenage boy. Here there is this army of Israel scared of one man, and a teenager comes in and kills with with a sling and a stone. How much more amazing of a sequence do you need than that. If that isn't "cool" enough for you then think about how Samson killed one thousand men with a jawbone of a donkey (Judges 15:16). In 2 Samuel 23:8-25 it talks about David's mighty men and their great victories. These battles were just a few battles and victories for God, and not for man. Now we watch television with murder spewed all over it. We play video games where we are entertained by killing people just to be entertained for a given time. These things desensitize our Spirits to what God has to say. His word is more entertaining, because even though it speaks of death it pumps out life.
As for the mystery side of entertainment I need to say no more than the mystery is God. Reading through the Word, and searching for revelation and God's personality is the greatest mystery on this earth. Just like all good mysteries there are twists and turns, and in the end the secret is always revealed. If you search for the mystery of God He will take you for a ride, but will always reveal Himself. I wasn't sure how to tie in the science fiction part of entertainment and the God says I am science fact. Genesis alone explains the science side of God. The first chapter of the Word has God creating light, the heavens and the earth, plants, animals, the seas, and of course humans. The first few verses alone could have you entertained for a lifetime alone. I wonder often how He created these things, and how amazing would it to be to watch Him do it. The first verse of Genesis states in the beginning God... If God was in the beginning then where did He begin? He was here before the beginning. If that doesn't blow your mind I do not know what else will. Revelation 4 talks about the throne room of heaven, and that there is a sea of glass, an emerald rainbow around the throne, and that He who sits on the throne shines like a sardius stone. Picture God sitting on His throne with the most beautiful sea of diamond around Him, a rainbow that glows with many facets, and His ambiance Himself shining like a burning stone.
I challenge you to take time out of your "Busy" days, and allow yourselves to be entertained by God. He is truly the greatest entertainer ever to live. He is the one and only living God, and He burns with a passion for each of you. He wants to have a relationship with each of us out of the love He has for us. He wants to be in constant communion with us to share secrets with us.
Daniel 2:47
47 The king answered Daniel, and said, "Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret."
God is a reveler of secrets. he wants to show us things.
Amos 3:7
7 Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
Amos is saying that God does nothing if He doesn't reveal His secrets to us. Please I yearn for you to stop dulling your senses to the wonders of Him. Allow His word and His presence to entertain you instead of stuffing yourselves with goods things. Allow Him to build a relationship with you in that He can reveal the very secrets of His heart. I promise God is the greatest entertainer if you will only give Him the chance to be with an open heart, and a burning passion of love for Him
