Now don’t get me wrong, I’ll be the first to admit I like to stay within my “Comfort Zone”…it’s relaxing, easy, peaceful, and soothing. There in the cocoon of my comfort zone, I only participate in activities that are familiar…making me feel in control of my environment. I don’t search out and willingly engage in any awkward situations that produce anxiety or stress on my part. But the drawback of only living in my comfort zone is that I’ll never be challenged to grow. Paul talked about pleasing man or God in Galatians 1:10, and that’s what it all boils down to…do I want to please myself, or my God? Growth only happens when we are stretched through serving and self sacrifice to others. Just as Spiritual growth only happens when we say “Yes” to God’s calling. But the real danger of staying in my comfort zone, is being lulled into a apathetic, insensitive, and numb mindset that someone else will do God’s work, not me.
