the men who are settled in complacency."
Zephaniah 1:12
Have you sipped yesterday's coffee? Or slurped warm ice cream? Both are tepid. Neither one tastes the way it should! Disappointingly, the aren't what you expect.
It's the same way with our zeal for God. Perhaps before you knew the lord, you were very cold to spiritual things. Then, when you finally came to truth and began your walk with the Lord, you were on fire burning hot, perhaps.
Sadly, many believers over time become complacent, content, and lukewarm. Complacency is a serious spiritual condition. In fact, God looks at apostay with anger but it is indifference that makes Him sick.
Do you srttle for what is convenient and comfortable, instead of being bold and speaking truth? Do you compromise your belief and behavior because you feat offending others?
Perhaps your fsith has become lukewarm. Ask God to ignite this fire within your heart so He can revive the lukewarm parts of your life. You will become zealous and committed in your drawing near to Him in prayer and eorship.
My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten your words.
Psalm 119:139
