Are you 'comfortable' when you are uncomfortable?

Yesterday during Sectional Gathering, Abby shared with us about an article she read. A lady witnessed a scenario - A mother hen together with its chicks. Then, there is a shadow of an eagle, indicating that the eagle is about to zoom down to catch its chick. She didn't see the mother hen go all out to rescue its chick, instead it starts to make continuous "clucking" sound, while spreading wide its wings. Then within a few seconds, the lady notices that all the chicks like sort of aware of the signal and begin to run towards their mother and then hide underneath its wings.

Same goes with the verse in the Bible, Psalm 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

When trouble and difficulties strikes us, when insecurities and uncertainties of life begin to surround our thoughts and emotion, what we need to do is RUN towards God and hide under His wings and cling on to His truth. It is amazing how many people say they want to have breakthrough or healing but are resistant to move towards God..resistant to change. They still remain there, as if they are 'comfortable' even when they actually feel uncomfortable.

Think back of those times when you were on your bed, sick and no energy to move, and you prayed, "Lord, heal me Lord", and amazingly you were still there struggling with the pain, unmoved. I found out it is easier for us to stay there eventhough it is not comfortable. The reason is that it might cause us pain or to put in more strength to move, even if a little move could produce an increased faith, hence the remarkable healing result.

Most of the time, we prefer to be in the uncomfortable state rather than moving to the comfortable state, which requires us to come out of comfort zone (move away from the old, and strive forward for the new - change). A change that includes the change in our mind, feeling and emotion.

So, next time when you are in uncomfortable state like sick, lack of money, tired, etc, do not just keep remain there by 'comfortably' saying "I am so sick, I really will fall sick" or "Oh no, I have no money, I am going to bankrupt soon" or "So so tired, why got so many things to do..haih"..or "I am lonely, why nobody cares?"

MOVE TOWARDS to the new things that God promise you, by trusting and saying "Yuhoo, I am going to see how my body won't feel sick though the symptoms is arising. I am going to see Healer in me. Yeah!"

"Wow, this is the superb time to see how my God supplies me. Money is decreasing, amount in account is approaching zero, erm...that doesn't affect me at all. Hoo! Hoo! My God is my Provider man! I shall see it happen soon."

"Tired? Yeah yeah, body is tired, feel like I can sleep for 12 hours. But things need to be done, and I want to have joy in it, yeah yeah Jesus, I can do all things through you who strengthens me. Yeah yeah, come on Jesus!"

"I am not lonely. God is with me all the time. Hmm...people actually cares for me and I shouldn't think otherwise. Why not I start to care for people like Jesus did, instead of complaining here? Okie Lord, I am going to follow Your way, let's do it!"

Try and see the marvelous change!

Remember Psalm 91:4 His feathers and His wings are already there for us to take refuge. His truth is all the while our shield. His promises is unchangeable, and are for us to cling on. His joy, love and peace is in us. And it just takes YOU to MOVE there. To ACT! Get out of your uncomfortable state and be ready for any change that will take you to the comfortable! Hurray..
