Title: When I am Complacent
Text: Psalms 90

The Psalms are a collection of songs that address the full range of human experience. What can we learn from Psalm 90 not living in a complacent manner?

General Questions:

1. Psalm 90 is written by Moses who saw how the Israelites’ complacency got them into trouble. Share an occasion in your own life when complacency led to trouble or regret. What did you learn from that incident?

Perspective Questions:

1. Moses prayed that the God who protects His people (v1) would “establish the work of our hands.” How does knowing that our eternal God (v2) has a purpose for believers motivate us not to be complacent? What do you sense is God’s purpose for you in this current season?
2. Psalm 90 highlights God’s power over all people (v3–6) and His steadfast love (v13–16). In response, we are called to “number our days” and “gain a heart of wisdom” (v12). Why is numbering our days important in overcoming complacency? How can remembering God’s power and love enable us not to live in complacency?

Application Questions:

1. Are there relationships—especially with pre-believing family members or friends—that you may have grown complacent about? With Christmas about 40 days away, how can you partner with the Holy Spirit and your LG to reach out to them intentionally?
2. “Complacency is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.” In what area of your spiritual life have you been complacent in? How can you immediately begin investing time and effort to grow in that area?
