What is our tendency when we become really satisfied?
Often times we become complacent. We think we've got life figured out. We take it for granted.
When we get to a point where we think we have everything we need, instead of being thankful to God, we start becoming arrogant.
Once that arrogance starts creeping in, you are well on a path to forgetting Him.
In Proverbs 30, Solomon asks God to keep lies and deceit away from him. Then he says, don’t give me too much - in other words, don’t give me too much of anything. Don’t give me too much wealth. Because my problem is, once I have too much, I’m likely to forget you and say, Who is the Lord?" It’s like he was saying, give me just enough, because he sees this danger.
As we sit here today, we might find it hard to believe that someone who gets really blessed would forget God, would not give thanks to God, would not be humble. But that does seem to be what happens. An attitude of thanksgiving does not come natural to us. Arrogance does comes very natural to us.
