Too Comfy

Oh, how we love our comfy clothes!  A long-time Christian and faithful church-goer confessed, "I've become comfortable with a certain level of sin in my life."  What courage it takes to admit this!  While most of us may not have committed murder or adultery or another otherwise heinous act, it's highly likely sin has found a comfy place somewhere in our lives. The really sad part is how we may not even recognize it!  In Galatians 5:1, Paul says "For freedom Christ has set us free." Now unchained to sin why would we go back to being shackled?  Satan is a sly one and he won't be so apparent in his trickery. His goal to chain us is never laid aside; he remains the liar and deceiver he is. This is why Christians are to "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8).  Always be on the lookout for Satan's deceit lest you become tolerant of any level of sin in your life.  Regularly, ask God to show you the very moment sin settles in and becomes comfy.
