Good morning and happy Thursday. The word of the day today is complacency. We live in an ever changing, can't be still, need to do something different to make things exciting world. Now I'm seeing some friends are doing the 30 day Christian music challenge. I love this idea. I listen to it all the time on regular radio and satellite. Here's the deal with us though. We can't be still long enough. I hope those doing it make it. It will change your music listening habits. I am a music nut. So now back to our word of the day. As I listen to Christian music all the time I find myself just listening. I don't even realize I'm not hearing the message in it anymore. So once in a while I switch the channel to some of the music I grew up with. Hair Nation is the place I land. I hear a few good love song ballads and then some really secular lyrics start up and then I switch it back. Now I can hear the songs again and it's because I got complacent in my everyday walk. It's so easy to do. It goes to remind me that it has to be an every day, every hour, every second walk. I'm too easily distracted by the out side world. Squirrel!!! Those from my Sunday school class know that one. Stay mindful to the things that are not seen. Keep your heart guarded from the world. God is good all the time. Take comfort in that but don't become complacent in it. Keep your faith and your worship and your love for God fresh every day. Don't just listen to Him, hear Him. He's talking to you right now. In love always. <><
