That is a word for ME! How easy it is to fall into a trap of complacency in our walk with God. I believe that complacency is the first real evidence that the fear of the Lord is waning in our lives. Thank you for sharing your experience with me so that I can make yours my own as well. I really needed to hear that! Oh me! That is a word for ME!

I remember an instructor of mine from Bible College who was from Georgia talked about folks in the south being "God fearers", yet totally non-Christian; while others were "just plain heathens"! It was all totally funny, but the consequence is the same sad event - neither will see the Kingdom of God. In many ways, it's so much more dangerous to be a "God fearer", because it can give you a false sense of belonging to God when you really don't. Jesus will say, "Depart from me, for I never knew you". How scarey! It's a continual reminder for all of us to stay in His presence and assess where we are in Him. Has our love grown cold, or even worse - luke warm? Or, also just as dangerous, we get so complacent in our knowing Him that we lose that healthy fear (or reverence) of Him? I know I'm challenged to check my barometer reading to see where I stand! Thanks for the insight! Sis Good word, bro!
