Come Play in Sin City

com·pla·cen·cy  /kəmˈpleɪsənsi [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.

(I find that pronunciation awkward, I'm more inclined to say it as: COM-play-sin-see similar to Come Play in Sin City, maybe due to my New Zealander accent).

Thank you Lord for getting me through 3 weeks!! Lord, I know this pursuit is so do-able with your lead, considering I was able to make a 5 month dash only a year and half ago now. The key ingredient is: your lead.

So far, of the 3 weeks, two and a half of those have been gruelling. My mind constantly drifts and forces me to come on here and write another post. However, in the last couple of days, besides a few shifty eye moments, I have found freedom living to be one that just comes naturally.

This is exceptional news.

My fear now, is complacency. Lord, keep me in check about the dangers that constantly lurk just on the other side of the path, and keep me well clear of it. I want to hold firm to your statutes so that You will provide me with the best life.

I get complacent about all sorts of things concerning You Lord. It's too easy to take Your power and Your love for granted on the day-to-day - and that's what quickly leads me to folly in sin city.
Lord, I thank You for Your forgiveness and the promises that You have made and kept with us. Continue to shape me and grow me Lord. I will aspire to learn Your Ways.
Amen
