It’s Uncomfortable

I realized just today that God doesn’t want me to get too comfortable. When I’m comfortable, I get lazy. I take Him for granted. I forget to praise Him or to work for Him. I neglect the only One who never lets me down and who is always by my side.

This morning, I delayed my prayers while I relaxed and enjoyed the quiet morning. I occupied my mind with things that weren’t important so I could just “chill.” I procrastinated away a few hours when God shook me. Discomfort set in and I knew He was wanting my attention, just as I am always requesting His.

So I prayed. I meditated. I was still while I waited to hear His word. That’s when I realized that every single day, every moment even, must be dedicated to my Lord. I have to force myself to step out of that easy, comfortable place and be bold for Him.

Doing His work is not easy. It takes courage to do the right thing. The right thing is often uncomfortable, but it’s always worth it. The blessings that He bestows are equal to the discomfort that we willingly accept in His name.
