This snickers commercial has so much truth in it. When I saw this commercial it reminded me that people often change into someone their not when their circumstances are not comfortable. Think about the last time you were hungry, your entire personality changed because your body needed something. The only thing you can think about is how you need to get something to eat as fast as you can. I think sometimes when life gets uncomfortable we look for a quick fix. One thing I had to learn is that God isn't in the "Quick Fix" business. When ever our lives get uncomfortable we look for the fastest way back to that feeling of comfort. Our flesh hates it and cries out for you to move back to where you were. Here are some questions with quick fix answers:
-Not comfortable with the way your body looks? Surgery
-Not comfortable in your marriage? Leave
-Not comfortable with your boss? Get a new Job
-Not comfortable with your professor at college? Drop his class
-Not comfortable with a diet? Eat what you want
-Not comfortable with your grey hair? Dye it (I fall into the "Quick Fix traps too!!)
The truth is that sometimes you can be right where God wants you to be and still be very uncomfortable. I have seen God do some very big things in my friends lives when they were taken out of their comfort zones and stretched. They let him do the work he needed to do in them and at no point was it easy. Each of them had to turn away from the "Quick Fix" and say "OK Lord, What your doing in my life hurts now but I know you are growing me, so do what you have to do". If Gods needs to do a work in your life, its gonna happen. Some of us try to hide and others sprint in the opposite direction (look at the story of Jonah)!!! It comes all comes down trusting God's plan even when it hurts. I wanna challenge you to read Read: 2 Corinthians 4..... As I was about to hit the publish button God brought this song to my heart, cause sometimes in your life your just gonna have to stand in the middle of your uncomfortableness with your arms high and heart abandoned:
