The Danger Of Spiritual Complacency
Pr 6:9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep-
11 So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.
Though Solomon, the man behind these words, was addressing a lazy person here, these verses can be applied to spiritual salvation.
Endless suffering awaits those who have refused to be awakened to God's repeated calls to come to repentance and faith in Christ Jesus for salvation.
Many are not alarmed at their condition. Sleeping while the house is devoured by the flames, so to speak, they can afford to live at ease, be indifferent and be complacent with the sinner that they are in God's sight, seeing no need to come urgently to the Savior.
Somebody said: “A little more sleep, a little more slumber and thou shalt wake in hell to sleep no more forever!”
And so, awake to your critical spiritual condition before God. Rise and run to the Savior, trusting in Him and what He did on the cross alone for salvation.
