COMFORT... IS IT A TRAP?
Most of us "work forward" -> to being comfortable, but comfort can kill you or at the least make you lose the ability to achieve or live up to the purposes God has made you for in this life. Too much comfort slows creative juices down. To much comfort can set you up for moral failures as it did for King David.
"Pray that the LORD your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.” - Jeremiah 42:3
Stanley Tam - US Plastics Company: Gave God 100% control as Senior Partner over his company. Stanley took only a salary for himself.
Why? Because Stanley knew God would do more with the money than he could. He also knew that the treasures in heaven would last through eternity so Stanley said that he was just paying it forward.
A little comfort is good for renewal. A lot of comfort is good for destruction. Choose wisely!
