This is a daily email devotional which I received from Jeff White in mid-February. He talks about comfort and snuggling into his easy chair on winter nights. As we turn the pages to spring, we tend to snuggle into the comfort of our yardwork or gardens. Our physical and emotional comfort usually stands in the way of doing something "uncomfortable" for God:
The LORD is my light and
my salvation; whom shall I fear?
PSALM 27:1
I love the warmth, comfort and safety of my living room. On these cold
winter evenings, I light a fire and snuggle into the easy chair my wife got
me. Life is good but most of all...it's comfortable.
Christianity is not about comfort though. It's about serving others
and that means leaving the safety of our comfort zones. Most of us don't
venture out for fear. Fear of disapproval, fear of embarrassment, mostly,
fear of rejection.
With the Lord as our light we have nothing to fear. He is our comfort
zone.
