Comfort & Ease & Pleasure

WHEN comfort and ease and pleasure are put AHEAD of duty and conviction, progress is ALWAYS set back.
 
I read this statement & it really stuck with me...  So I thought I better share it along with where it came from. It is a good read.  Something to take time to think about & see where it leads you in thought.  Hope it blesses you just as it did me!
 

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. -1 Peter 5:8 When I was in the hospital in Hawaii, I read again of the shocking events which led up to the destruction of the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor. On that fateful day of December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked. We know now that that attack was invited by our failure to be always vigilant. The result was the destruction of our fleet—the cause was tragic indifference. When comfort and ease and pleasure are put ahead of duty and conviction, progress is always set back.
