Complaceny

Amos 6:1 - "Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria,
you notable men of the foremost nation, to whom the people of Israel come!"

There are many sins that we are not to commit. Many of these sins require action, while there is one sin that doesn't require action but non action. This is the sin of complacency. At this time the Northern kingdom of Israel, Samaria were very content and living in luxury and ease. Much like the United States has been for years. Samaria was in the lap of luxury and a time of peace. They felt very secure. They were not serving the Lord, but felt very secure in themselves. As result, they became complacent. They no longer pursued the Lord.

As believers, we can become complacent. We may not be living in blatant sin as Samaria was at this time, but at the same time we are not doing much for the Lord. We have become content in life, both economically and spiritually. We are enjoying the pleasures of the this world. Not necessarily sinful pleasures, but pleasures that lull us into a spiritual stupor. We have lost our fist love for Christ. We are no longer zealous for him. We are just going through the motions. We are no longer seeking Him with all our hearts. We are no longer living in the light of eternity.

God is calling us to wake up from our sleep because the days are short.
