Drifting Away

Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. (Hebrews 2:1 NET)

Have you heard the expression, "if you don't use it, you lose it?" In other words if you don't continuously use something, you will slowly forget and eventually have to be taught all over again. For example, I learned German in college, however because I never practiced it over the years since then, I lost what I learned. Now that I need to learn German, I have to start all over again from the basics. This is the same with God and His word. If we don't pay attention to what He is telling us to do in His word and if we don't continuously do what He is telling us to do, we will eventually forget, and we will slowly go back to our old ways of thinking and our old ways of living. If we want to see changes in our lives we need to pay close attention to what we are reading in His word and we are to continuously put into practice what we have learned so that we wont drift away.

Take Away: Take time out each day to read His word and put into practice what you have heard.
