Are You Drifting? 1

Hebrews 2:1, “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”

The next truth about drifting is that you never drift upstream.  There is a current that will carry you if you do like we talked about yesterday.  If you do not paddle the boat then the current will carry you downstream.  This may be where you intend to go; but, the current is now in control.

Some people are so lazy that they do not like to be in control.  They are happy to just be in the boat and on the river.  Yet, this is a dangerous attitude to have in life.  One day you will look up and wonder how you got where you are at.  Guess what?  It is your fault.  You have drifted here.  We need to be like salmon and run upstream against the world, the flesh and the devil.  These are our enemies.  We must resist them.  We must resist drifting.

There is an old saying, “Good things come to those who wait.”  I understand the thought here about being long suffering about things.  However, when it comes to the Christian life we need to be yielded to the Holy Spirit and let Him lead and guide us.  This will keep us from drifting.

So, how are you doing?
