What does God want us to do with our spare time?

[Kyleiferous]

I was reading some gaming threads and whether it is right or not, and kept seeing the idea of "you shouldnt be gaming because it doesn't glorify God"
I know we should try our best to glorify God, but does God want us to be glorifying him 24/7 or does he allow us some down time?

Answers will be appreciated.

I think He definitely allows us time, but not too much. I think being a teenager though we can find ourselves with a lot more downtime than we need. (Like summer break) So, yes. Relax and enjoy some time to let your mind be at ease, but don't over do it.
As for the video game thing. You can glorify God with video games. There is a group called Tribe of Judah and they play video games in a Christian clan. They play together to get fellowship and witness to others sometimes too. Which doesn't seem that bad.

Time is important. For teenager especially during the summer do have a lot of time on their hands. The key is to use time wisely. There are things like learning a skill, playing games. Helping parents with cooking.
I think there must be a balance. I believe that God would want teenagers to have fun. Teenagers don't have to be reading the bible all the time. There are fun things that teenagers can find to do.
