Following the truth of the gospel is not a leap of faith, not blind wishful thinking, or trusting in something you can’t prove...it’s a decision to acknowledge the futility of life without God and to commit to God through Jesus based on the reliability of testimony – angels, prophets, Jesus, apostles, miracles, God Himself. And yet, like the hymn writer said,
“Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love”
This describes me. I’m prone to wander. I’m prone to leave the God I love. I’m prone to “drift away” from “so great a salvation.” It’s not that I’m angrily shaking my fist at heaven and stomping away from God, but in the small drifting ways of my daily priorities – sleeping in instead of rising for time in the Word, making excuses instead of making room in my schedule for prayer, diminishing the reality of my own sin instead of acknowledging it as it is...is this you as well?
What if today, you closed in prayer and asked God to reveal any tendency you have to drift away, to take His salvation for granted, and asked Him in all humility to keep you tethered to him no matter what it take. Allow for God to work in you for His glory and for your good today.
