The Current

TOPIC: Falling Away

SCRIPTURE: "For this reason, we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do NOT drift away..." (Hebrews 2:1)

OBSERVATION: We must fervently anchor ourselves to the truths we've been taught, or we are likely to drift away from our dock.

APPLICATION: As I read over this verse, I couldn't help but think about all the people that I know personally, that have slowly but surely drifted away from their relationship with the Lord Jesus.
I had the opportunity this year, to speak with 3 of them at length. Each of them shared with me how amazingly subtle the drifting away was. Much like being in the ocean and the current slowly moving you, my friends said that before they even knew it, they were miles off course.

Do you have an "anchor"?

Is it strong enough to hold you steady through the storms of life?

Do you have it with?

Has it been lowered into the proper position?

BECAUSE

If you answered

NO

To any of these questions

You are destined to drift away

Because the currents of this life
have a tendency
to be strong
&
change without warning.


So PLEASE

Make sure you are anchored down!!!

PRAYER: Father God, thank you for reminding me through my friends how easy it is to drift away. Help me to stay anchored in your word and in your presence.
