The Land of Comfort

I was counseling a member of the church.

They were explaining how their diligence in doing what God said
had made a major turnaround. They were attributing it to one
thing after another, but I noticed turnaround started exactly at
the point when they lost their job.

Often during our periods of comfort and security, we abide in
our strength and wisdom. When that security is removed then we
pray like we never have before, we listen to the messages like
we never have before, we change like we never have before.

As painful as it is,

...sometimes we can’t be reached in the land of comfort.
