Ah, here's a tale I'm sure all of us are familiar with.
Waking up early one morning, half paralyzed underneath of warm comfy quilt with nothing planned for the day apart from a few outstanding task which can be done another day. The morning till the late afternoon was rather dull with minimal bright sunshine. Of course, the tempature was the ideal air-conditioned level.. just perfect to sleep in. So I did.
I woke up at 8am, but decided not to hop out of bed. Instead, I slowly slipped back into my slumber.. with occasional interruptions.. you know.. waking up once in a while.. but falling back to sleep when the comfort kick in again. Man. It was so SO comfortable.
By the time I got hungry.. it was past 3pm. Realising how unproductive my day had been, I felt like crap.
For many of us, we often want to be in a position of comfort. We rather not be in a situation which rattles our cage and often avoid doing things which requires more responsiblity, even the social benefiting events. Our mind and body kicks in to say "no" to difficulty and avoid leaving the comfort zone. The problem is.. in doing so, we get nothing done.
I believe the only comfort we were meant to have is the comfort in knowing that God will provide us with every need.. but whether or not God wanted us to be physically, mentally and spiritually comfortable is a whole other matter. Consider this as well, the devil is probably hoping that all us reach into a zone of comfort cause he knows we'll reluctantly leave it.
It's never good to be too comfortable wherever we are. If you're helping out in some organisation.. the moment problems occur is when you've dwelled in comfort for too long. Not that I'm saying we should never be comfortable, but rather, we shouldn't stay idle for too long. Moment of comforts are necessary as well to recharge and prevent burn outs. But just like my illustration, you should never say in bed for too long - it makes you sick. If you have been serving some place and achieved your goals, set higher ones and never be still!
