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 are always in the
fast lane with places to go and people to see. They are so busy
having fun and accommodating their latest find of 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...
