Complacency

Sunshine,

This past week, Pastor Roland has started preaching on Revelation. This will be the second time I have gone through this book with him. He is pretty sold on the U Shaped Theory of the stories in Revelation. Begins in Heaven, swoops down to earth with a challenge, we respond, and if all goes well we end up back in heaven. That pretty much sums up the Theory.

The meat of the theory is in the "we get a challenge and we act on it" part. In each case, we are challenged to make some attempt at being something better than what we are. More loving, more caring, more supportive, more clean, more unselfish and more whatever else is good.

The word more is what struck me this weekend. We cannot be content which the status quo - we must be looking for another way to offer more. Complacency - the state of being ok with how things are and not too concerned with making them any different. Complacency does not equal more - it equals sit still.

God wants more from us, He wants us to get up every morning and look for a new way to serve Him with more of ourselves. While what we do today may be all good and everything, tomorrow it will look and feel stale, old, used. He wants new every morning (catchy). He wants us to look for ways to add a bit more WOW in what we do today. In every aspect of our lives He wants us to give more. So little to ask in return for what He has given us.

Something to think about...

I love you,
Daddy
