My Own Little World with Lyrics - Matthew West



Too Comfortable 

I love the lyrics to this song. I feel I am getting too comfortable, I need to be shaken up. I pray hourly, and I talk to God all the time, ask questions, have little conversations. It is the BEST thing getting close to Jesus, but I am being spoiled. My own human self is getting lazy, because I have been in such a good connection with him, I have slowed down on my devotions. You would think it would be total opposite, you would think, the more God communicates with you, the more you would seek his word. That is totally true, but not this time. He has spoiled me, and today I felt like I couldn't hear Him. I don't like not being able to hear my God. So I need to go open my bible (which unfortunately is in my car, and it is 1:30am and freezing outside) and call out to my Jesus. I need to go get on my knees and ask for forgiveness, I need to go seek my Lord.

What does this song have to do with this post? I am getting to comfortable, I have shoes on my feet, a warm house, a cat, a dog, a car. I feel like I have been too blessed. O YES I have had some big struggles in the past two years, and I thank God for them everyday. Those struggles have made me who I am today. But what about the people who don't have shoes, the children without a warm house. O god break our hearts for what breaks yours. I am sad to see that we have grown so far with new technology. Not everyone has new technology and I feel like it is blinding some of us, of the people still left behind. The people without food, without heat, without Jesus. We have to wake up and open our eyes to the rest of the world. We need to seek God for ourselves and not just listen to Sunday morning preaching. Unfortunately false preachers are becoming more and more common, make sure what you are getting preached is correct. Step out of your comfort zone, and reach for God, you will glad you did.

I challenge us all to make our world population: 2
