Diligence vs Compliance

Occasionally I have had conversations where many people claim to thank God for the things they have and that God has allowed them to have, but what happens when we reach the end called The Conformism? certainly the bible says that we give thanks to God in everything, that we are happy with the shelter and sustenance that we now have, however it can not be assumed that being grateful is synonymous with staying stuck in the same place.

I have understood that there are two extremes and that they are dangerous for our spiritual, economic and family prosperity, the lack of knowledge no doubt makes people perish, gratitude should not be confused with conformism, conformism makes people end their lives without projects or goals, but diligence is the desire to progress in a disciplined manner with a view to raising our status, not necessarily being multi-millionaires but with the goal of something better.

The diligence is the ability to advance facing and solving the obstacles that arise without altering or blurring the goal, the conformism points to a dome where it predominates only to resolve situations to stay at the same point, I think that God has called us to evolve in the areas where we are, being examples to others, but how we will be a good role model if our lives do not show success.

Joshua 1:6-9 World English Bible (WEB)
6 “Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Don’t turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. 8 This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. 9 Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God[a] is with you wherever you go.”

If you do not risk you will never know if you win or lose.
