the threat of an all too familiar complacency.

too much (scratch that, lots of) opportunity and blessing
in sun as much as rain, must not forget:

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer* and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

Hebrews 12:1-3


*The older version of NIV that I've memorized before says "author". Pioneer vs. author? Hm.
