In Whom Are You Seeking Comfort ?

We all are set to face the troubles at one time or the other. These troubles are of different types, based on the roots of their occurrence in our lives.

It maybe a trial, or a trouble due to the time travel. Life gets at once jerked due to these uninvited troubles, they bother us much. Keeps us distressed and distracted from the faith. This is nothing a fair, unfairs keeps happening in our lives and we may feel like the worst.
Situations make us prepare to question God, which isn't a good thing to do. It feels like we are all alone in this and God testing only us every time. We cannot escape from this type of trouble.

The next step we take is to SEEK COMFORT  and to stay in Peace. This is all what we do, no race, no religion, no class. Everyone of us being a human seeks a comfort in time of tribulations. This is our nature.

Like a multiple choice question, which has a four options. We do have the options to Seek the comfort. Speaking in a spiritual way, we are offered with major two options. They are__

1)God and
2)World

Because the entire universe is build upon these two sources and called as the biggest existed powers, but in opposite.
We must need to reach either one of them. But we are unaware of the route that which is led by them, as long as we don't study.


World's Comfort:
Those comforts which are at our fingertips and are easily accessible are called the worldly possessions and worldly comforts.
These are of with great attraction and pleasing look. The fact is these are the temporary attractions. Once fulfilled we never want to reach them again. We only call out again when we need them.
There are lot of things in the world to think in a worldly way.
And seeking comfort in them, searching happiness in them is just like an oasis. Like the mirages on roads, which aren't real.

Seeking comfort in them is nothing but firing at an aeroplane with a rifle. We are just wasting our bullets (energy).

Earthly comforts includes all the following_
• Drinking alcohol excessively
• Smoking excessively
• Eating snacks to escape the problems (or forgetting them)
• Developing bad friendships, which doesn't last long and end up with a quarrel.
• Watching porn
• Sexual fantasizing
• Masturbation

All these are easily accessible and will give a comfort which feels like perfect one, only for a few minutes. But,the fact is all the above are the self soothing behaviours. They weaken the soul, increase the inferiority complex, take away the confidence and will left you all alone in this world.

If we seek comfort in them, they will consume all the power and they remain us as only a mass of body.
Overcoming those addictions will become a biggest challenge to us, if we reach them in time of trouble for our solution.
We have to find the real solutions for the real problems in this real world, running away from the realistic problems by keeping the unrealistic fantasies won't solve the problems, but worsen it.

Seeking our comfort in the above things seems so natural, also reasonable sometimes. But, they aren't true comfort. They fades away leading our path to hades.

They all are the temporary self gratification drives. They doesn't last long and feeds our mind with the bad stuff, which will corrupt our careers. Even they are so attractive and welcoming, there path will definitely leads us to the place of unknown and dark.


God's Comfort:
This isn't as pleasing as that of the world. It seems a huge mass of wreckage and of no use. No attractive things, no reasons to go for it and mostly not so colourful.

When we are down in deep trouble God's Comfort won't be our choice. It is so far from our  sight, it looks dim. Because we are in need of the gratification which must come instantly. 'God speed' is an ideal thing for us during those situations. It seems unnatural and hence the real is this worldly attractions.
Everyone of us, even the ones with a close relationship with Jesus, feels the same.

Talking frankly, the world came second and God first. Studying The Bible and praying are the only helpful things that gives us the real comfort which we are in need of.

Let's make up our mind to reach to that which is the realistic one.

Are We Inviting Sin?

This is the newsletter I got in my mailbox and the devotional one. This is the best mail I got in these days and it grabbed my attention all at once after reading this. This is the crosswalk.com newsletter. All the credit goes to it's publisher, but I want to bring it here because of the reality it got. So close to the lives and able to change the lives. Below is the post__ Bar the Gates! Romans 6:13 Do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. John Bunyan, one of history's greatest Christian authors, wrote the story of a fierce battle to take control of a city from its rightful ruler.  This famous allegory, Bunyan's second most popular work, is entitled The Holy War. His depiction of the human soul is a city, Mansoul,  with five gates: Ear Gate, Eye Gate, Nose Gate, Feel Gate, and Mouth Gate. The enemy o...

What does beauty refer to? In terms of both inner and outer.

Greetings to you in the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Today I wish to write about the beauty both that of our spiritual beauty and our flesh. Many people think that looking ugly or pale is a sign of huge suffering and they are fighting battles behind. Maybe true, but what kind of battles are they talking about here? If a person is sick, he/she looks tired and ugly. This is the health issue, other side of looking ugly is the genetic problem. I would like to note here that, am not talking about those who are with the above qualities. And I quote none of us are ugly because we all are made in the figure of God. Thinking of the beauty is a different one in different cases. And here, especially I am writing for those youngsters who are always interestedly seek the beauty. And this is related to the category of marital status. And let's get into the point directly. In the above verse, it is cleanly shows that our body is the temple, it needs to be pure. This is a very logi...

It is the time for me to realize

My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.  Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.  For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22 ESV For me, I thought health isn't the biggest issue to deal with when I got all at fingertips. It is a foolish belief in which I lived for so long time. Even am an asthma patient and a hypertension dealer a regular host of cold, I neglected the health care and I acted like am invincible. Health is the only reason by which we can survive and withstand against any problems and stop withering. We all set to face the unhealthy, when it is physical, we can feel a lot pain. As the above verse says, I need to be good to hear the word and ready to receive the healing. What I learnt on my own, being unhealthy is__ I can't concentrate on the word of God and can't realize the true blessings. This sickness made my mind to lose the grasping power of good...
