Adrift

Hebrews 2:1
"We must pay careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard (from the Lord through David, Samuel, and Moses) so that we do not drift away."

Oh, Lord!
Thank You for having Paul (or whomever wrote the book of Hebrews) for putting this in printed form so long ago for us to read today! I know he was writing about how You, Sweet Savior, are higher than the angels, but this can apply to anything in Your Word.
When I got the newspaper today there was a huge font headline that read, " Gay Marriage Barrier Falls" and beneath was a photo a "reverend" marrying a lesbian couple in Richmond!
The caption read "Clergy Reaction Mixed; Opponents Vow Fight". Our Supreme Court refuses to make a decision as to whether gay marriage is legal or not.  So it is back to the stares.  Right now  almost half of the country's states allow it, and because of the decision made may grow to 30 states.
Lord, how can You bless America anymore? Lord, I thank You that our Pastors will fight this fight and refuse to marry same sex "partners" as this goes against everything in Your Word; they are the clergy who won't drift away from Your Word.

When we had a boat, we used to drift fish on the lakes or bay.  We would flow with the current because we knew that our boat motors worked and we could start them and navigate back to where we started or back on course.  However; it is a very fearful thing when the motor does not have power and one is at the mercy of the current that will take your craft far from where you want to be and may send you into rocks or obstacles that will crash and possibly sink your vessel, or can take you out into the open sea.

Lord, our culture is like a giant vessel without Your power,  rudder or anchor so it is drifting with every wind of doctrine in any and all currents.  Your Spirit no longer fills our sails so we are adrift and are not staying on course.  Our sextant, Your Word, has been washed overboard and we are becoming like the Jews in the book of Judges; everyone does what is right in their own eyes.  Our judges are making the rules now, not You.
Oh Lord, how we need revival!
