2 Thessalonians 3:11-12
For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work. Now such
 persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.
*       *       *       *       *      *       *       *
"Idle hands are the devil's workshop"  It is a fearful phrase.  Though many bemoan the fact 
that their lives are too busy, many freely admit that they want their children busy in school, 
sports, clubs, bands because "it keeps them out of trouble."  Though not a foolproof method
of keeping trouble at bay, it still is effective at least until the young people are old enough to
have the freedom to choose their own activities - for good or for ill.  Having too much time on
one's hands is a luxury others would envy. We are admonished to be good stewards of our
time, to use it for all good things.  
*      *       *       *       *      *      *       *
Keep us from thoughts and deeds that don't amount to anything good, Lord.  Amen.
