Why blog about complacency

Why am I blogging about complacency?

For a long time God has been laying it on my heart to start writing about the dangers of complacency. I have been disobeying and have not done it.

When I was at work yesterday the word complacency was brought up. Talk about ironic that one of the words that was brought up at work was the same word God was laying on my heart.

I don't have time tonight to write all my thoughts but I thought this would be a good start.

Defintion of Complacecny

Websters dictionary defines complacency as
1: self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies
2
: an instance of usually unaware or uninformed self-satisfaction (Webster's Dictionary)

Another definition would be
complacent - contented to a fault with oneself or one's actions; "he had become complacent after years of success"; "his self-satisfied dignity"
Word Net Search from Princeton

I personally would describe it as grown comfortable with surroundings and unaware of reality.
