Lest we drift away

Hebrews 2:1 - "Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away."

The result of failing to earnestly heed what we have heard is not simply status quo - rather it is that we drift away, our hearts become callused and insensitive.

Repeatedly we are warned not to harden our hearts, as they once did in the rebellion (i.e. Hebrews 3:8). Oh, we do not set out to harden our hearts any more that a person sets out to be addicted, but by one choice at a time, one seemingly insignificant choice at a time, we drift ever so subtly from truth.

Sister, absolutely refuse to drift. Live in the reality of the truth you know. James 1:22-24 "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the word, this one will be blessed in what he does."

Let us give more earnest heed to the things we have heard and remain steadfast and immovable in the truth!
