Muse And Amusement Considered

Psalm 143
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

Luke 3
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

Definition of muse
mused; musing
1 : to become absorbed in thought; especially : to think about something carefully and thoroughly

Definition of amusement
1 : a means of amusing or entertaining
  • what are her favorite amusements
2 : the condition of being amused
  • could not hide his amusement
3 : pleasurable diversion : entertainment
  • plays the piano for amusement
Sport and entertainment fill a void in many a life, and
sadly keep many from searching the deeper issues of
life. There are TV programmes that can take you from
the cradle to the grave and have a strong emotional
hold on you. There is a battle for our minds and its
difficult for many to see this. The gospel is the hope
for mankind, and there is a blessing for those who
study the bible and are transformed and renewed
in there mind.

1 Corinthians Chapter 6
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
