Don't Seek Comfort

Don’t Seek Comfort

Mike Tomlin, the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, said that most people are not successful because they “seek comfort.” When I heard him say that I was taken back to my sophomore year in high school when I quit the basketball team because the workouts were too hard. In fact, only eight guys stuck it out and played for our school that year. I watched games from the stands regretting my decision to quit. 

Reading this passage reminds me of how I gave up so easily. The apostles could have been like me, but they refused to “seek comfort.” They were thankful for being worthy of suffering disgrace for Jesus Name. 

We need to have that mentality in all areas of our life. Don’t seek comfort. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Acts 5:41-42

41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.
