adjective

1.

(of clothing, furniture, etc.) producing or affording physical comfort, support, or ease

2.

being in a state of physical or mental comfort; contented and undisturbed; at ease: 

I don't know about you, but I like to be comfortable.  Comfortable in my home, comfortable in my car, comfortable wherever I may be.  If it's too hot, we turn on a fan.  If it's too cold, we snuggle up under a blanket.  If we're hungry we eat.  You get my point.  But I think we have become TOO comfortable in some ways.  So much so that as we go about our day to day life we miss opportunities to reach lost souls for the sake of keeping ourselves "comfortable".    Maybe it's the book I'm currently reading or many of the discussions lately at church, most likely it's the Holy Spirit moving, but I feel the need to step out of my comfort zone.  Maybe comfort isn't so important after all.   Honestly we shouldn't be "at ease" with the huge mission field we live in each day.  If you leave your house and go out in public, more than likely  you have come in contact with someone who doesn't know Jesus or who doesn't know the truth about Jesus.  How can we be "content" or "undisturbed" knowing this? There's a revival on the horizon people.  It is my prayer that I don't miss any opportunities for the sake of comfort.
