Philippians 1:6, 9 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:..And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

The journey we are on is filled with perils and distractions. We start out with the intentions to live our lives for God. He has preformed a work in our hearts that has changed the way we live. We now live by the grace of God and continue to grow each day by partaking of this grace. The journey requires that we continue to grow in love and in the knowledge of Christ.   The danger is that we can become careless and indifferent to the things that will hinder our walk with Christ. How do we stay alert? Prayer is the key to a successful Christian life. It is through prayer that we can overcome the pitfall of life. By praying for the Holy Spirit to help us to continue to bear the fruits of righteousness and to live our lives to the glory of God.

Drifting Away

Heb. 2:1 “Therefore we ought to give even more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”-

Drifting away from God happens so gradually. Letting those things that are important to our spiritual life slip away often happens when we become too careless and allow the things of this world to distract us. Legit as they may seem, they are insignificant when it comes to having our soul slip away from the Haven of Rest. The Anchor that holds us in place when the storms of life hit us. It is essential that we give heed to what God’s Word has to say and what it teaches us about living holy and right before Him. Staying anchored to the Rock and leaning strong on Him is our hope and salvation from drifting and finding ourselves shipwreck in life’s sea. “Dear Lord, help me to live in your Word and take heed to your commandments. Help me to stay focus on the things that really matter, keep me from drifting away from You”
