Are You Drifting?
Are you standing still in the current? You do realize that is impossible. No matter where you stand in a creek, you never stand in the same spot twice.
Either you walk and move about or the water moves past you. The current of the world is not driving you toward God.
In the Bible when God speaks of not drifting away, "Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away" (NKJV Hebrews 2:1) The Greek word used for drift away is speaking of being about to crash on rocks; A ship that has lost its rudder and not able to hold anchor. God speaks presupposing that you are aware that there is a current in life driving us away from good.
If you don't wake up and take responsibility for your faith and life, making determined prayerful choices, about where you are going, you will be drifting away from all that Christ has made available to you.
Christ has brought us:
This list of what Christ has given us could go on and on, but it covers the basics.
Why is there a current trying to drift you away? Never forget, you have an enemy! The world laughs at that and wants you to disregard him, but that is a terrible mistake. As you get cozy to the world, lukewarm to your devotion to God, Satan is hoping to drift you away to see you crash among the troubles of this world.
Remind Satan, father of this world and lies, that Jesus has rendered him powerless in your life. Know who you are in Christ, and continue to grow, drawing nearer to God. Yes, God will give you wonderful times of rest in Him, but even in resting in Him you are drawing near and not drifting away.

Christ has brought us:
- Righteousness, We are clothed in His Righteousness.
- Our Destiny, We are co-laborers with God and a steward of all creation.
- Unity, The mystery of the gospel, Christ is in us and we are in Christ, unifying us all.
- Freedom, Jesus came to set the captives from from bondage (sin, position, abuse).
- Ministry, The pains of our life healed by the Truths of God gives us areas of ministry.
