Monday, July 8 Do all things for God’s glory.—1 Cor. 10:31. Before engaging in a form of recreation, we need to put it to the test. When it comes to quality, we want to know: ‘What does it include? Is it wholesome or debased?’ (Prov. 4:20-27) Regarding quantity, we want to find out: ‘How much time would I spend on it? Is the amount appropriate or not?’ (1 Tim. 4:8) And concerning company, we need to determine: ‘With whom will I share in entertainment? Are such companions good or bad?’ (Eccl. 9:18; 1 Cor. 15:33) If a form of entertainment fails to meet the Bible-based standards in any one of these three aspects, it does not pass the test. On the other hand, if we make sure that our leisure activities meet the Bible-based standards in all three aspects, our recreation will bring honor to Jehovah and benefits to us. (Ps. 119:33-35) So, then, when it comes to recreation, let us strive to do the right thing at the right time and with the right people. w11 10/15 1:16-18
