Don't Get Comfortable

I don't wanna ever get comfortable in my Christian faith. I don't ever want to go to church, and everything be routine. I don't ever want to not crack open my Bible, because I've already read the whole Bible twice. I don't ever wanna raise my hands in worship because that's the part I always raise my hands in worship too and so does everybody else. Do you see a pattern? I don't EVER want to get comfortable in my Christian faith, because I've done it before and it was terrible. I don't think God ever wants us to get comfortable either. In a city where 98 PERCENT of people would go to HELL if an atomic bomb was dropped, we CANNOT afford to EVER be comfortable Christians.

"Don't Get Comfortable" by Brandon Heath

Comfortable, don't get comfortable.
I am gonna' move this mountain
Then I'm gonna move you in.

Yesterday, this is not yesterday.
You were standing on my shoulders now;
You're standing on the edge.
You've been looking for a sign all this time.

I am gonna show you what I mean
I am gonna love like you've never seen
You are gonna live like you used to dream
This is your new song

So afraid but you don't have to be afraid
Even if you make mistakes
You know that I'll remain

You've been looking for a sign all this time.
If you seek you'll find me every time.

So I am gonna show you what I mean
I am gonna' love like you've never seen
You are gonna live like you used to dream
THIS IS YOUR NEW SONG

Can you feel the call of love?
Is it moving you to be a child of God of love?
Is it reaching you?
It's everywhere the call of love.

I just want to show you what I mean
I just want to love like you've never seen
Do you want to live like you used to dream?
Then I've got a song for you

Cuz I am gonna show you what I mean
I am gonna' love like you've never seen
You are gonna live like you used to dream
This is your new song

That is my prayer for you too...never ever get comfortable...'cause when you do - then something has got to change. God never intended for us to be complacent about anything and certainly not how we follow and serve HIM!

WOW Ileana. Thank you so much for writing this. It is a reminder that we need to continue growing, we need to continue seeking. We have never learned enough or reached the highest points in Christ. God always has more. Thank you. God Bless you! Big Hug.

Thats why I glimpse at Earth and gaze at Heaven. Gazing upward helps w/ the uncomfortability and sacrifice down here. Just like Stephen did when he was being stoned to death. Good post, girl
