Cribbage was my game of choice in high school. It was an afterschool time-killer which I played with a girl in the neighborhood. On many a ball trip, the cribbage board was on a seat in the bus with someone yelling,” I will take on the winner.” It was one game I was well-above-average in. What did the game accomplish in my life? Nothing, I guess. Like so many games in life, it is just a way to waste time. I still play some of them and often feel bad about the time wasted.
Does the Bible address the subject? Glad you asked.
Ephesians 5:16-17
Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Psalm 90:12
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Hosea 10:12
Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.
Let’s cut down our time with foolish games and get into the real game of faith.
Think about it.
