1 Timothy 1:19Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Today's Thought: You drift away from God because you do not take much attention not to.
People drift away from God for several reasons. When one does like the church or anything that pertains to God, that person is drifting away from the Lord. Even if you think that you are not too far away from the Lord, if you are less closer from the Lord, then that is drifting
Reasons for drifting could be neglecting the things of God, listening to the world and not taking steps to reverse the drifting process. When one does not listen or read the Word of God, pray to the Lord, and does not attend fellowship of collective worship, one easily drifts away from the Lord. When one listens to the world instead of the Lord, one easily drifts away from the Lord. Even if is attending the church if he is not giving quality time to the Lord, then he is drifting away from the Lord.
How not to drift away from the Lord? First, it is a change of priority. Whatever the reason of the drifting, it takes priority to return to the Lord. Second, it takes genuine repentance, acknowledgement of the problem and the dependence on the Lord. Drifting is real and one must do something to be closer to the Anchor of Hope - Jesus Christ - for one not to drift.
