Creatures of habit . . .

The recent outcry (mine included) over the changes to Facebook makes one think. It's so easy to settle right down into that cozy, comfy spot called complacency, isn't it? I mean if we're truthful isn't that where we're the most comfortable ... ?

com·pla·cen·cy [kuhm-pley-suhn-see] noun, plural -cies.
1. a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like; self-satisfaction or smug satisfaction with an existing situation, condition, etc.

A story is told of three demons who were arguing over the best way to destroy the Christian movement.

The first demon had it all figured out. “Let’s tell all the Christians that there is no heaven. If we take away the reward incentive, their movement will collapse.”

The second demon responded with, “No, I have a better idea. Let’s tell all of the Christians that there really is no hell. If we take away their fear of punishment, their movement will collapse.”

The third demon offered, “Both of those are great ideas, but there is a better way. Let’s tell all the Christians that there is no hurry.”

The other demons applauded in delight! “That’s it!” they said.

Complacency is not part of God’s best plan for our lives. And that knowledge equals responsibility. The moments God give us really do matter - now and eternally. We are responsible for how we spend them.








Until later ...
