How do we glorify Jesus in complacency? Proverbs 1:32 says, “For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.
Sometimes we get complacent in what we do if we do it every day, I get it. But Gods mercies are made new every day, why is our passion to glorify God not? Well God does renew His mercies He does not renew us every day. We need to pray for a renewed spirit every day (this is different from the holy spirit).
To be honest I am reading and worshipping in the morning and got into a place of compliancy in what I did not that I didn't worship and read my bible with fresh eyes, but I got compliancy in what I did and how I did it. In Zephaniah 1:12 it says, 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. The part of the verse I want you to concentrate on the men who are complacent will be punished. In 2 kings 19:28 it says, Because you have raged against me and your complacency has come into my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came. when I heard these verses it scared Me a bit.
What are we to do not to become complacent in glorify Jesus? It's simple ask for God for a renewed spirit each and every day and dwell in that new spirit that your are given. To not do the same thing the same way each time you glorify God. I still start off with prayer (most days) but the rest is changed up from time to time.
Just like I talked about yesterday bible compliancy, don't become complacent in your walk and Glorifying Jesus.
Go forth today with a renewed spirit and glorify Jesus with that new spirit.
