Hebrews
2:1
"We must pay
the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not
drift away." NIV
"Therefore
we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest
at any time we should let them slip." KJV
How many of us are
like a bucket with a hole in it or a barrel with cracks between the staves? The
Word of God repeatedly tells us to be alert, be on guard. If we become
comfortable in our spiritual experience, we are in danger of complacency (being
satisfied and unaware of danger), and the spiritual maturity and strength we
have received will seep out of us like the bucket with a hole in it. That is a
dangerous place to be. It will reveal the true child of God from the
imitation.
Heavenly Father,
forgive us for letting our guard down. Heal the holes and cracks in our
spiritual lives so that we will be true children of Your Kingdom. Give us
attentive hearts and make us strong so we can help others do the same. We pray
in Jesus' name, Amen.
