New Jersey and New York suffered the greatest damage. While watching a TV program about Hurricane Sandy, there were several interviews with families that refused to leave their homes despite the impending hurricane. As I watched these people explain why they were not leaving, I was disgusted by their behavior. I mean seriously...LEAVE! THERE IS A HURRICANE COMING!! Why would you stay in your house, no matter how comfortable, when a huge storm is going to hit your house? After the storm, everyone of those families said if put in the situation again, they would leave.
Later, as I was thinking this over, God pressed this upon my heart. How many times do I stay in my "comfortable place" even when I see an inevitable storm brewing? How often do I refuse to leave my comforts and go to safety with my Lord? The answer...far too often. Unfortunately, I love my "comforts". Too often, I am willing to withstand a storm (or some sin) in order to remain where I am comfortable. How different my life would be if I would learn to cling to God instead of my comfortable life? How different would my life be if I would leave the material things and go to a higher safer place? I really don't want to look back after the "this storm called life" and say I wish I had left my comforts, my material things...
