1 Corinthians 13:11 "11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
Those who live a lifestyle of pleasure remain in a child-like state living from adventure to adventure.
As they grow older when they can no longer have their adventures they slip into a sense of hopelessness, their adventures were their life and hope.
Those who are fixated on adventure into their old age and can no longer do them, talk non-stop about the adventures they used to have as though the mere speaking of them affords the missing adulation they once had in those "good old days."
Ecclesiastes 7:10
"10 Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this."
Those who are walking with Christ and have learned wisdom enjoy every day in humble existence without the need for "an adventure" as the world sees adventure.
Wise people enjoy the simple things in life, the quiet things, the contemplative times that bring joy and peace. Their adventures are discovering a truth in the Bible that they haven't discovered before. Their prayers become more focused on Spiritual wisdom from Christ Who lives in them.
The life of an unbeliever bent on reliving their old adventures is one of emptiness and loneliness, but this is not the case for the born-again believer who lives for Christ contemplating His return and our home going.
Titus 2:13 "Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ".
