"Sometimes you need to comfort the afflicted, but other times you need to afflict the comforted." Dr. Greg Beale

Lord, please wake up your bride from our selfish pride that clings to comfort when you've meant us to live in such a way that our lives are instrumental in seeing those trapped in darkness (like your creation in the pictures above) set free. May I never be comfortable. Wake me up. And even when it's hard, use me as your instrument of affliction to drive people from their insane comfort to a place of compassion for the lost and a lifestyle intentionally seeking Your glory alone. You alone are worthy Jesus, my King of Kings and Lord or Lords.

Let's wake up. What do you say?
