"THEREFORE we ought to give the more
earnest heed
to the
things which we have heard,
lest any
time we should let them slip."
Hebrews
2:1
Just Drifting
Another way of translating the
final phrase of this verse is, "lest we drift
away."
Nothing in
the world is easier than drifting.
No person
drifts upstream ~ only downstream!
It is so
easy. All you do is sit back and relax and let the boat
go.
You are soon
lulled into a lazy stupor, not caring where you end
up,
unaware you
are drifting until it is too late and you end up on the
rocks.
Satan is very
wise! He seldom urges a Christian to leave the
church
or to give up
their faith in the Lord.
Instead, he
causes us to relax, rest on the oars, and drift along in
life.
All around us
are Christians who have drifted into a state of coldness and
indifference.
They stop
caring about others who love and need them.
They stop
caring about sharing the message of God's all sufficient,
saving grace.
They are
relaxed and content in their state of
"drifting."
If you are
drifting along today, won't you wake up
now?!
Grab the oars
and pull!!!
Your active
concern is needed as we seek to lead others
to find
Christ and His will for their lives.
And your
loved ones need you to share His love with them
too.
Don't lay
back and drift along
Until you
bottom out;
Take ahold of
both those oars,
To pull
yourself about.
There's
others out there floating,
Just needing
to be saved;
So won't you
stop your drifting now
And go the
way that's paved?
Back To Haven On
Earth
