God's instruction to us is to move forward, not to sit idle. The old adage about idle hands can be true; we must always try to block any path that Satan may use against us. Part of moving forward is to immerse ourselves in the very presence of God and have God with us at all times. We need to build and keep faith in God's power and love and build unity with our brethren and continue to draw close to God.
