Too Comfortable?

first off, I do not want to take credit for what I am about to write..
(I am only going to summarize and piece together certain parts of the devotional entry)
this is taken from one of my daily devotionals written by R. Blackaby & H. Blackaby.



Comfortable In Our Bondage

It is possible for people to become so accustomed to their bondage that they resist efforts to free them.
Slavery meant that [we] are not free to do God's will or to go where [we want].
When God sets out to free us, there will often be a price we will have to pay. Grief can be a terrible form of bondage, yet we can become comfortable with it. We can grow so comfortable with fear that we don't know how to live without it. As destructive as our sinful habits and lifestyle might be, we may prefer living with the familiar, rather than being freed to experience the unknown. We may recognize the harmful influence of a friend, but choose to reject God's will rather than offend our friend.

Have you been lulled into a comfortable relationship with your bondage?
Do you fear change more than you fear God?
Are you willing to allow God to do what is necessary in order to free you?
