Have you ever drifted while in a boat? I have. While fishing in the boundary waters, I remember looking across the lake and noticing the shore that was once close by was now in the distance. Perhaps it was because I was distracted with a walleye, bass, or northern on my line, but over the course of just a few minutes the current carried our canoe at will. We were drifting.
In Hebrews 2:1 we are given a strong warning not to drift when the author says: "We must pay more careful attention therefore to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away." I had never noticed this word "drift" before, but it is a vivid word picture to help keep us from slipping away from the faith. Its easy to get distracted in this life for a moment letting other things grasp our attention. Before we know it we look towards the shore and we have drifted miles away.
Are you drifting today? Keep your eyes focused on Him, the author and perfecter of our faith...
