Complacency

I've been issued a challenge.

Went to church this morning, it was a really good message. It didn't punch my face off like some sermons do, but it was a soft reminder. The pastor spoke on Jermiah, who was called by God to deliver a message of judgment and grace to the nations. Not that Jermiah wanted to, but God called him, promising His faithfulness in Jerimiah's life.

'They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you.'

That's a big promise. And although God was promising this specific promise to Jerimiah, there are dozens upon dozens of examples of God promising the very same things to us. So why do we sit back and become complacent? Why do we become boring, lackluster followers, just because we haven't seen a giant miracle in a while? I think we need more people like Jerimiah in the world, who call us out on our routines and stagnant faiths. I think it's time we shake our world up a little.

Pray for me, I am feeling spiritually and emotionally exhausted.
