For various medical reasons, folks spend much of their time these days in waiting rooms across the country to see a doctor. For example, my wife and I just recently spent over two hours in a doctors waiting room for an ear cleaning procedure that only took five minutes. The time we spent in waiting for that procedure to take place, was wasted and unproductive time.<\/p>\n
There are people who make productive use of their waiting room time, by knitting while they wait or by reading a good novel. Others play electronic games, listen to music on their iPods, or send text messages on their cell phones. However, as Christians, waiting room time can be a productive time for reading and studying our Bibles<\/strong> (Ephesians 3:1-4-NKJV; 2 Timothy 2:15-KJV.<\/p>\n Not only can we be productive in reading and studying Gods word, but we can also influence other folks for good<\/strong> when they observe us reading and studying our Bibles. Ive had folks ask me about what Bible book I was reading or what Bible topic I was studying. Ive even had some people ask me a Bible question. This provides us with an excellent opportunity to teach Gods word via the medium of the waiting room. There’s also the possibility of scheduling a future home Bible study.<\/p>\n Brethren, while we are waiting to see a doctor, or waiting in various other places, such as hospitals, airports, grocery stores, traffic tie-ups, tax and social security offices, etc., let us take advantage of our waiting time, using that time wisely (Ephesians 5:16-17), being productive in doing the Lords work and will (Matthew 5:14-16; Matthew 7:21; Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV; James 1:22-25).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For various medical reasons, folks spend much of their time these days in waiting rooms across the country to see a doctor.
