Lest We Drift

Hebrews 2:1 (NIV)
¹ We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

The writer of Hebrews warns these early Christians of the danger of drifting away from the Gospel.  It applies to you and me as well.  Nothing has changed. We are all prone to drift.

 Jesus is the anchor of our salvation.  We will drift in the waters of the world unless we remain steadfastly connected to Him.  There is little benefit of an unattached anchor when the wind begins to blow. 

There are two primary ways of establishing and maintaining that vital connection that come to mind:  spending time in His Word and spending time in prayer.  Spending time in His Word allows the Holy Spirit to speak to us.  Spending time in prayer allows us to speak to God.  Both provide a method of coming before God.  Jesus made that possible.  He made it possible to enter into His kingdom and boldly come before Him.  As brothers and sisters of Christ we can call Him Father, just as Jesus did.  

We must be mindful of so great a salvation, lest we drift.
