Every choice moves us closer to or farther away from something. Where are your choices taking your life? What do your behaviors demonstrate that you are saying yes or no to in life?Eric Allenbaugh (American author, "Wake-Up Calls")
Hebrews 2:1-4
We must therefore pay even more attention to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away. For if the message spoken through angels was legally binding, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment, how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him. At the same time, God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to His will. (HCSB)
To pay attention to The Word of God is to prevent it from slipping away and also to keep us from drifting away from its blessings. Will this happen? Yes! Of course it will. We have to pay attention to the Word of God to stay anchored in God’s Truth, for if we are not careful the dangerous eddies of sin can put us on satan's reef.
Eric Allenbaugh was right. Every choice we make indicates a movement in our life, or a change of direction. Our choices in life either move us closer to God, or closer to the those things satan places in our path to draw us off course. God can help us avoid those worldly reefs that will tear the bottom out of the spiritual ship of our soul.
Jesus our Lord and Savior plotted a safe course for us through these dangerous waters, but we must make sure that we do not drift of course. This is what Paul is saying to us in Hebrews 2, he is saying pay even more attention now to your course and where decisions move you. In these last days we are in stormy waters, and the words of Paul speaks to our day, Jesus is coming soon, don’t let worldly currents carry you away…God’s Blessings
