Comfort isn’t the problem. Comfort without conviction is.
Comfort isn’t the problem. Comfort without conviction is.
Amos 6 shows people who are at ease while everything around them is breaking.
They’re comfortable, but not grieved. Busy, but not burdened.
That’s the issue. When God stops being your focus, comfort takes His place.
Slowly you stop seeing: truth, people, and what’s broken.
Jesus paints the picture clearly in Luke 16. There is a man who lives in comfort while someone suffers at his gate. Not far away. Right there in front of him, and he misses it!
Not because of what he had—but because of what he ignored.
Some questions to think about:
- Where have you become too comfortable?
- What have you stopped grieving?
- Who’s at your “gate?”
