“… you have become
dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need
someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need
milk, not solid food” Heb 5:11-12
Complacency
leads to a lack of enthusiasm, which leads to a lack of effort, which leads to
a lack of results and eventual regression. One is either green and growing in
their efforts or they become ripe and complacent, and regress into rottenness. Hebrews warns us that due to a dullness of
hearing or lack of interest to do so, resulted in regression and back into
spiritual adolescence in need of the simplest of diets. When they should’ve
been nurturing, feeding and teaching others. Complacency conspires to choke
spiritual growth in you, as well as others. Like working in a gym, your growth remains
measurable until you find yourself staring in the mirror and becoming satisfied
with what you see. The cost of
complacency is redundancy… “you need someone to teach you AGAIN the basic
principles” it’s hard to move forward for good and for God when you’re having
to retrace your steps. Stare in the
mirror too long and what looked ripe, now looks rotten and in need of
restoration… again!
Hold
to the vision of God, follow the voice of God, and you’ll find the victory in
God!
HSAY…
