  2. Complacency 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 ESV 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. 2 Kings 19:28 ESV

  3. Complacency 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry." Luke 12:19 KJV “Then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” Deuteronomy 8:14 NASB “For the waywardness of the naïve shall kill them, and the complacency of fools shall destroy them.” Proverbs 1:32 CSB

  4. Complacency “For the waywardness of the naïve shall kill them, and the complacency of fools shall destroy them.” Proverbs 1:32 CSB What does God think of complacency? Two symptoms of complacency: 1. Satisfaction with the way things are. 2. Rejection of things as they might be.

  5. Complacency “For the waywardness of the naïve shall kill them, and the complacency of fools shall destroy them.” Proverbs 1:32 CSB Difference between being at peace and being complacent? What is the fruit of being complacent?

  6. Complacency “For the waywardness of the naïve shall kill them, and the complacency of fools shall destroy them.” Proverbs 1:32 CSB Fruit of Complacency: Lowers your determination Lowers your morals, and behavior Lowers our level of personal expectation Lowers our thinking; no responsibility, that it will be O.K Lowers our relationship with God Lowers our spiritual power in life

  7. Complacency “For the waywardness of the naïve shall kill them, and the complacency of fools shall destroy them.” Proverbs 1:32 CSB What causes us to become complacent? When the danger is past, we often forget the God who helped us. We don’t like to move out of our comfort zone. We are self sufficient.

  8. Complacency Have you settled for just enough to get by on?The mature believer is a searching believer. Maturity is pressing toward the mark; and seeking Gods will, where as immaturity is complacency and self-satisfaction. Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern for yourself. Maturity does more of what matters most, not just doing more. You can make excuses or you can make progress, but you can’t make both! 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry." Luke 12:19 KJV
