Drifting Away

Hebrews 2:1 
So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. (NLT)

It is so easy to drift away. Remember those friends you had at the last job your worked at? There were some you were close to, even did things with them outside of work. Then you left for another job. You still lived in the same city, but your relationship with them drifted away to a card at Christmas or perhaps to no contact at all.

Daily contact kept that relationship alive. Keeping in contact is a conscience decision we have to make. Sure the phone rings both ways, but that is not an excuse for not making the effort. And today with emailing, texting, and Facebook there is no reason we cannot retain some type of contact with others.

What about our relationship with God? Have we kept in contact with Him? Do we take the time to talk to Him, to pray to Him, to read His Word daily? That conscience decision of ours to stay in touch is all it takes to keep us from drifting away from Him.
