A New NormalՕրինակ

 Day 5

Living in our comfort zone is normal. Our default is “I want, so I get.” One click and food comes straight to the front door. A few taps and I've got a thousand friends without even leaving the house. We want minimum sacrifice with maximum results.

Sadly, this type of thinking often finds its way into how we relate to God. We see this in Acts 5 with Anaias and Sapphira. They lied to God to “benefit” themselves. To keep within what they were comfortable with and to seem like they were doing more than they really were. Minimum sacrifice with maximum results. This story didn't end well and is a bit confusing. But what we can learn is that God wants us to live authentic, God-centered lives. Fuelled by the knowledge of His grace and kindness towards us. The result of Jesus’ sacrifice for us, is people who live new lives of generosity and authenticity.
