So, is there any info on what God does these days? Does God have any hobbies? I imagine that answering prayers and making miracles happen and stuff gets really boring after a while.

Hmm. What does God DO?

- He sustains all of creation (Heb. 1.3)
- He holds all of creation together (Col. 1.17)
- He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free (Ps. 146.7)
- He is continually working to reconcile all things to Himself (2 Cor. 5.19)
- He is continually working to draw all people towards Him (John 12.32)
- He is reconciling people to Himself (2 Cor. 5.18)
- He gives appropriate spiritual gifts to people (1 Cor. 12-14)
- He indwells His people and His Church (Eph. 2.22)
- He listens to and answers prayers (many, many many references)
- He is seeing His plan of salvation through to its conclusion.
- He is revealing Himself through His creation and to His creation.

I would say He's pretty busy. After all, the universe is still of unknown dimension, and there are 7.6 billion people on the planet.
