A Perfect 68 Degrees | Worshipping Comfort

We want comfort financially and physically, so we worship all sorts of things. It is self-centered thinking, not God-centered thinking. We can lose our joy when we don't get "all the things." Our eyes become focused on the world rather than on the things above.

Seeking our own comfort is exhausting, fruitless, and leaves us more empty than when we started, full of discontentment and envy. We are created beings, which means we are dependent on a good and faithful Creator to meet our daily needs.

We were created as stewards of all the blessings of God, so the right response is to trust and worship God with all that He has given us to steward. We use our health, wealth, time, and achievements while here on earth to gain the bounty of heaven. That is the true comfort our souls must seek.

Luke 12: 16-21 16 And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' 18 And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry."' 20 But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
