“At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, ‘The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.’”-Zephaniah 1:12
Complacency, we are all guilty of it at some point in our lives. It’s an easy trap to fall into, especially when life is going well.
When we are facing life’s challenges such as an illness, job loss or death in the family, we immediately turn to God and plead with Him to help us. We call upon Jesus and the Holy Spirit for it is easy for us to see our great need of their help!
But it is when things are going well that we tend to “feel” to busy for God. We say less prayers; we go to church less often and we spend less time with our Lord. We become complacent.
And if we are not careful, this complacency can lead to a lack of faith.
We should not wait until we “need” God’s Help! We can and should call upon the Lord and spend time with Him now! Pray now! Obey Him now!
For there will come a time when we need our Lord’s Help desperately!
Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!
