Today's devotional reading for:
Wednesday, Aug 5, 2020 Drifting!
“Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.”
— Hebrews 2:1
Have you ever rowed a raft on a river?
If you have, then you probably know that when you row upstream, away from the falls, you have to keep going.
If you stop rowing, you’ll inevitably drift backward, silently, imperceptibly toward the falls, toward danger.
But as this happens, you may not realize that you’re drifting away.
The Christian life is like paddling against a rapidly flowing river.
It takes a definite decision of our wills to live for Christ, but it takes no such definite decision to drift away.
All you have to do is neglect your faith, even for a brief time, and before you know it, you’re headed straight for spiritual destruction.
You’ve probably heard the classic story about the wife who complained that her husband never sat next to her in the car anymore.
He, the driver, turned to her and said, “But, dear, I never moved.”
We’re the same way with God.
Though sometimes we may feel far from Him, He never forsakes us.
Instead, we allow ourselves to drift away from Him.
Such drifting in the Christian life seldom happens instantly.
When we neglect our relationship with Jesus Christ, even for a short while, the drifting begins.
Continued neglect leads to disaster.
Someone has put this truth into an easy-to-understand word picture.
To maintain a flow toward Christ, we must apply ourselves to the “oars”—the oars of Scripture reading and prayer which together provide for our devotional life.
As we “row” toward Christ, we grow closer to Him and further from the crashing falls.
But if we just let the oars sit in the water, we go wherever the river runs, in a direction toward crashing defeat.
If you’ve been drifting away from the Lord, then I urge you to draw near to Him today.
Make a conscious decision to apply yourself to the oars of faith, interacting with God daily through His Word and through prayer.
“… Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love,
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above.” Robert Robinson  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
