Drifting??? by Myra Boozer

Have you noticed how we drift into different ways of living? For example, some people just take life so slow and easy and don't really want to go anywhere, happy where they are....... While others, well always in the fast lane... With places to go and people to see..they are so busy having fun and accommodating their latest find for food or entertainment, they almost live in a whirl wind... I found this profound quote by D.A. Carson.... " People DO NOT DRIFT toward holiness.... Apart from grace-driven effort, people DO NOT gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord...We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance: We drift toward disobedience and call it freedom:We drift toward superstition and call it Faith.We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation. We slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism. We slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated..." Age makes a difference in our pursuit of life and what it offers... but I believe we have drifted until many don't know how to find God.... start where you are and surrender ALL to Him....Then we must pursue HIM until He catches us.... captivates and changes us into His image... no longer trapped by the worldly attractions and sounds...no longer drifting on the sea of time... But looking unto our Blessed Hope , who is coming to rescue us from this world and its alluring deceptive ways....mb

We can not afford to be adrift on the sea of life. One of the most dangerous times for a sea going vessel caught in a storm is to lose power and the ability to navigate and point the bow of the ship into the wind and waves. To be adrift on the sea of life is to experience almost certain destruction...bb
