Afflicting the Comfortable

Listen Later

Prophets comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, and maybe that's what our prophets are doing -- afflicting us until we shift our expectations and attitudes. Attitude shifts are often uncomfortable for me, but that’s okay. A little discomfort never hurt me and, in fact, sometimes it helps me to grow. 

For Reflection: 

  • What about you? How do you respond to these readings? 
  • How do you respond to feeling uncomfortable? What are your expectations around feeling comfortable?
  • Have you ever had experiences with economically poor people? Or, have you had experiences of being poor yourself? What was that like?
  • For what are you most grateful? Let’s spend some time reflecting on what’s good in life right now, and maybe we could even share that with God.       


    • You can read the reflection here, and you can sign up to receive our weekly newsletter at www.GodSpaceCommunity.com. 

    At God Space,  you can come as you are. You belong here.
