We can be a people that lives with complacency or lives with Christ, but not both.
Two measures God lovingly takes to restore our devotion to Him:
1. He drains satisfaction from our self-pursuits (v. 5-6) “You never have enough”
2. He promises us the goodness of His presence (v. 7-8) "That I may be glorified."
Questions for Personal Reflection:
1. Why do you think becoming complacent is so easy and tempting?
2. Read Revelation 3:17 – How do you think a church can get so wrong about its spiritual reality?
3. What has been on your front burner this week? What affect has it had on your spiritual focus?
4. How can you notice God more in your day to day and how can you communicate God’s presence in your life to others?
5. Read Philippians 4:11-13: What are some ways we can we fight against the “never enough” mantra of the world with the truth we have Christ?
6. Imagine you are in a conversation with a person who is complaining of not having enough/not being satisfied with life, what might you say to point this person toward the gospel?
7. The poem “Only One Life” by C.T. Studd says: “Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.” Based on this statement, what work from your previous week will last? How can we use this truth to prioritize our devotion to Christ in the week ahead?
