When we experience hurt we become desperate for comfort and our world is willing to oblige by tempting us to try to soothe our pain with stuff. The problem is that wherever we take solace, the relief is only temporary and we get hooked into pursuing comfort and yet are always left wanting. We call this chasing carrots and that is what Pastor Eli is talking about this week. Contrary to the temporary comfort of the world, God offers us a comfort that will never leave us wanting.
