For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
Proverbs 1:32 (NKJV)
Last week, we learned that it is dangerous to be complacent because it makes you careless and unaware about hidden dangers. So the question today is, how do you overcome complacency?
- Be Fervent
We are encouraged by the Apostle Paul to be fervent in spirit. To be fervent in spirit means to boil, love and have a zeal for what is good. In other words, we are encouraged not to be lazy but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically with boiling love:
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Romans 12:11
- Be Diligent
To be diligent is to have an earnestness in accomplishing, promoting, or striving after what God has told us to do. There is an assignment that God has given to each of us and we must be diligent to achieve it:
Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
Proverbs 10:4
- Be Passionate about the things of God
Another way to overcome complacency is to do whatever the Lord tells us to do with passion, knowing that it is the Lord that we are doing it unto:
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
Colossians 3:23
Prayer
Dear Lord, please help me to be fervent, diligent and passionate about the things of God in Jesus name.
