Scripture: “We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.” — Hebrews 2:1
Shipwrecks usually happen slowly. A vessel rarely smashes into the rocks because of one sudden, violent crash. Most of the time, the ship simply unties from the dock, catches a subtle current, and drifts away while everyone on board assumes they are still secure.
Drift works the exact same way. You do not wake up one morning and decide to abandon your foundation. You simply stop paying attention. You skip the quiet moments, let daily habits slide, and rely on momentum from the past to carry you through the present.
Drifting does not require an active rebellion. It only requires apathy. Staying anchored takes intentionality, keeping your eyes on the compass before the current pulls you too far out.
Reflect: Where have you noticed a subtle drift in your daily routines or focus lately? What is one intentional step you can take today to recalibrate?
