Joy – Overcoming Boredom
Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
From Drudgery to Joy: Follow the Journey
The journey from initial drudgery to ultimate joy is a gradual process that often unfolds without a clear point of transition. Much like a schoolboy learning Greek grammar for the sake of future enjoyment or a musician practicing scales, individuals engage in tasks driven by obligation or duty before finding deeper satisfaction. This evolution mirrors the spiritual journey, where initial faithfulness transforms into genuine delight. As commitment deepens, longing replaces mere obedience, leading to profound experiences of joy. The process is gradual, resembling the slow lift of a ship by the tide, and culminates in a divine invitation to follow a guiding figure. This act of following is pivotal, as it promises a joy that emerges over time, transcending the burdens of duty and offering a fulfilling, expressive freedom.
