Don't Get Comfortable

Not to spiritualize a Lil Wayne song, but thinking about his song Comfortable and what he is saying in it is interesting. Basically he is saying, do not get comfortable with the way things are now because change will happen eventually. It is easy to get comfortable with where we are now because that is how we have been raised, I mean nearly every human being has been raised to get comfortable: same home, same neighborhood, same people, same you in the mirror. It is when things start change that we can find it hard to adapt. Think of how hard it was starting high school or moving out of your parents, or the simple thing of buying your food with your own money that you earned on your own. But think of how it would be if we stayed in third grade or even trying to wear the same clothes we wore then too; it would be too uncomfortable and funny looking. Well that is the mindset we have to have all the time, do not get comfortable where we are in our lives right now, good or bad. Now do not take this as a way to break up with someone or quit your job, nothing like that but it should be a wake up call to improve your relationships and make yourself more valuable where you work. If you read 2 Kings 6:1-3, you see that staying in the same place when God is requiring you to grow is not helpful to you and others. So lets pick up our beams and go forward because where we are now just isn't suitable for where God is taking us to.
