Comfort is not something we should strive for, it’s something we should run from. With comfort comes apathy and in apathy there is no growth; if there’s no growth, what are we doing?
People strive so hard to be comfortable. We want a good job with a good salary so we can buy our comfortable house filled with our comfortable furniture and a comfortably large TV. We want to be married so we don’t have to be uncomfortable in loneliness. We want consistency because change is uncomfortable. Half of the conversations World Racers have are about how we miss our favorite foods or our comfortable beds or our relaxing American toilets. We long for comfort.
When we are comfortable, we become apathetic, we don’t care enough to grow and we don’t realize how much we need God. It’s when we become uncomfortable that we become desperate for Him and we have to learn to find our comfort in Him. When we are uncomfortable we realize we can’t do it on our own. Then comes dependence.
