1 Tim 6:6-10 1. What do you do to seek comfort (i.e. comfort food, comfort zone)?
2. Comfort-seeking, while widely sought after, is not very biblical. Read 1 Corinthians 1:3-4. What does this verse says about comfort? According to 1 Timothy 6:6-10 and Lamentations 3:19-27, where are we to seek comfort from?
3. Studies and stats also show us that seeking comfort actually doesn’t make us any more comfortable than if we hadn’t sought it. They also say that the human brain, through the inactivity that comfort-seeking produces, is not designed for prolonged sessions of comfort-seeking - it stalls the brain and interrupts growth. What is the difference between resting (sabbath-seeking) and comfort-seeking? When were times that confront-seeking got in the way of your growth or delayed your getting through a painful time?
4. 1 Timothy 6:6 says that God-seeking combined with contentment is a really good thing. How would you rate yourself on these two areas of life?
5. How do you practice contentment? How hard or easy is this for you?
