Creature Comforts

He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack;But he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse. Proverbs 28:27

 One day sitting just thinking about America I said to myself “all in all we have it pretty good here”. Not really persecuted or threatened with death due to our faith. Everything seems good in my little world but beyond our creature comforts is a hurting world. 

Some people enjoying creature comforts have unseen pain and brokenness. Even in America the cost for not standing up for good and evil good can mean the loss of many precious freedoms. Slowly like a frog in a pot of cool water on a stove that is gradually turned to boiling and thus death, believers who coast along more political than prayerful may one day wake up imprisoned for your faith or worse sucked into Marxism or Communism. 

Creature comforts are nice but beware and don’t get lulled into a stupor or apathy and not care for the hurting anti God world just beyond your doorstep. Living for Christ and being available to share the good news and act on your faith is the best thing you could do. 

PRAYER: Lord at times I get overwhelmed by news reports of hurt and pain throughout the world and stories right here in America where we are slowly being pulled  away from God. Help those blinded by Satan’s tricks and lies be awakened to the wonderful gift of love and eternal life in Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
