When Miracles Slip Away: The Dangerous Cycle of Spiritual Complacency

The Prophet Jeremiah spoke to an Israel that was in imminent danger from the Babylonians. In the voice of God, as an oracle, Jeremiah said, “Call to me and I will answer you.” Then the Lord promises, “I will heal them and reveal to them an abundance of lasting peace.” This is a great metaphor for what often happens in our modern life. We receive miraculous answers to prayers, only to forget the miracle later, and fall back into trouble.
