Comfort Zone ( Matthew 9 v 9 )

I  remember speaking at  a reasonably large church, and I said that  I felt a bit out of my comfort zone,as I  usually speak at small churches. We do hear this phrase ,'comfort zone, ' mentioned at times ,it usually implies a place or task  your comfort with. So it is when we feel we are being pushed out of our comfort zone, whatever it may be,we become anxious,resentful ,we could even feel anger. When Israel was in the wilderness , and things were difficult, they began speaking of Egypt as their comfort zone ( Numbers 11 v 18) ,even though the Egyptians had treated them as slaves,and on Pharaoh's orders ,they had to destroy their little children.( Exodus 1 v 22 ) It is so sad,so tragic that peoples comfort zone,is a place of darkness,slavery,a place of no hope,for we are told people love darkness rather than life (John 3 v 19.),love for such a comfort zone,has dire consequences.God offers all, life and life abundant,do not be fooled  by your so called comfort zone, come to Christ and know him who is the true comforter.oh yes it will be challenging,but there is nothing wrong with a challenge,and in the end it  will be for the best.
