Unless the only way one can take delight in the Lord is to sit still, eyes closed, and concentrate upon Him, which is certainly an excellent thing to do but doing that for hours on end doesn't get the kids fed and bathed, or the dog walked, or anything else accomplished.
I mean, is that the choice set before us on a minute to minute basis? Take delight in the Lord or any other activity? They're mutually exclusive? |
I didn't mean to presume a conflict - I was just making an observation that, though for them its a sin, when the time comes for the Superbowl, they'd rather be focusing on (or delighting in) the Lord rather than watching the game. For them, there's no conflict (its seems). They don't want to watch the game.

Do you think its wrong (ie. a sin) for the football players to be working on Sunday? Why or why not?
