The Danger of Drifting, Part 1b

June 20, 2017

We may never choose to drift away from God, but we can allow ourselves to engage in activities that will slowly but surely separate us from the will of the Father. What may start out as fun can surely end in disaster. Friend, are you drifting away from God? Like a boat without a paddle, a life that drifts is in real peril.

Yet when God called to Abraham, he answered, “Here I am” (Gen. 22:1). Abraham understood that being committed to God means that God has final authority. Abraham’s story is a great example of how trials can strengthen us in our commitment to Him.

You probably know that it’s wrong to waste money and time. But did you realize that we also shouldn’t waste our suffering? As believers, we should choose to learn from life’s troubles. Instead of merely surviving adversity, we can actually profit from it. Christians should view difficulty and pain differently than the world.

When you and I trusted Jesus Christ as our personal savior, He broke the power of sin in our lives. However, it seems that there is something within us that still has the propensity to sin at times. Explore this old nature that the apostle Paul referred to as the 'flesh,' but also discover how to yield to the Holy Spirit and live a life not bound by sinful desires.
