Question:
Do you think God allows sports on Sundays for enjoyment or should we just do what is good and pleasing to God on Sundays? Is being good and pleasing God on Sundays more important than sports?

Answer:
Let us be assured in our hearts that the Lord does want us to have enjoyment in this life, “God, Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17). He also has joy waiting for us in heaven, “In Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).

We also need to realize that the One who made us is the only One who knows what really gives us joy. When He walked on this earth as a man He had before Him the joy of doing the Father’s will, and He “delighted” in doing His will (Hebrews 12:2, Psalm 40:8). Dear Christian young person, the Scriptures assure you of the thrill of experiencing “what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2).
The question puts “doing good and pleasing to God” in contrast with watching sports. Some Christians agree that in seeking to please the Lord, watching sports is not “doing good and pleasing God,” and they believe that they should not watch sports. Other Christians may enjoy watching sports but are so busy with serving the Lord that they rarely have time for it.
One thing that is important to be careful about is that we do not allow watching sports to be a priority in our lives. We are told that “whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). Because of the Lord’s great love for us, we should want to please Him in every detail of our lives.
So, we should ask ourselves: “Will I bring glory to God by brushing my teeth in the morning, eating breakfast, going to school or work, watching sports, etc., etc.?” Each event in our lives all day long should be tested by this verse, and we should want to please the Lord every day of the week, not just on Sundays.
In the Scriptures, Sunday, which is the first day of the week, is called “the Lord’s day” (Revelation 1:10). That was the day of the week that the Lord rose from the dead (Matthew 28:1), “the disciples came together to break bread” (Acts 20:7), and when each one of the believers were to “lay by them in store as God had prospered him” to carry on the practical needs of the Lord’s work (1 Corinthians 16:2). It is not a day      of rest which the Sabbath was for God’s earthly people Israel which is the seventh day of the week (Exodus 20:8-11). When Christ rose from the dead, the Scriptures tell us that the Sabbath observance was ended (Matthew 28:1). No longer are God’s people to observe the seventh day, but special recognition is placed on the first day of the week. We are to use that day in a special way for the Lord, for it is “the Lord’s day.” Each one of us is to be before the Lord as to how we use every day, but especially so the first day of the week. It is clear from even the words: “the Lord’s day,” that we should try to use that day in some way for Him. As already mentioned, we are told to remember the Lord in the breaking of bread, give of our money, time, etc. as the Lord has prospered us, on that day.May the Lord exercise all of us more as to how we use every day of our short lives, and especially the Lord’s day, for we will soon give account of everything we have done at the Judgment Seat of Christ (1 Corinthians 3:12-15, 2 Corinthians 5:10,11). After all He has done, is doing, and will do for us, do we not wish to have many crowns to cast at His feet? (Revelation 4:10).
