AN IDLE MIND...THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP

I'm sure we've all heard the adage before so no surprises there. Its always something I think of when I have nothing to do and then I remind myself to do something all because I don't want to find myself doing the thing I really do not want to do cos I was idle. Anyways I'm sure that's the case with all the serial killers out there that kill or destroy people's lives either because they enjoy it or because they just idle and need to keep the busy. I also believe that its the reason we've had students who went about killing their fellow colleagues all in the name of "nothing to do" and wanting to get busy for fun, unfortunately it led to loosing precious lives and loved ones. I'm sure we all know one story or the other of armed robbers or thieves who go to houses, not just to rob families of their properties but also end their lives, again all in the name of "joblessness" or "having fun". This sickens me more than ever. The intensity of an individual's imagination is a measure of what the mind thinks of. When the mind is way too relaxed, unnecessary and unwanted thoughts starts to creep in and the devil takes over one's mind without even knowing it. The bible says "the heart of man is desperately evil", I also read a passage in Genesis that describes the heart of man even worse (will find the passage n post). My Creator knew what He was talking about I'm sure. However I've often wondered how the heart can all of a sudden think evil when God didn't create it to think such. Well, I want to guess its when the mind and soul decides to be idle instead of studying the Word, studying your books, washing the plates or clothes, doing house chores e.t.c. There are more than a million things an individual can do rather than stay idle and be the devil's workshop. The devil is sure roaring about and looking for whom to devour, so why give him that chance, that opportunity, that satisfaction to make use of our lives. I think we give him that second to allow him to creep in because we just don't want to do what we know we ought to do. I believe its a good thing to imagine and think, however let's have a limit and a line drawn to what we want to imagine or think about, because honestly...the CHOICE is really OURS!!!
