The Danger of Drifting

Daily Devotional by John Piper

The Danger of Drifting

Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we
drift away from it. (Hebrews 2:1)

We all know people that this has happened to. There is no urgency. No
vigilance. No focused listening or considering or fixing of their eyes on
Jesus. And the result has not been a standing still, but a drifting away.

That is the point here: there is no standing still. The life of this world is
not a lake. It is a river. And it is flowing downward to destruction. If you
do not listen earnestly to Jesus and consider him daily and fix your eyes on
him hourly, then you will not stand still, you will go backward. You will
float by.

Drifting is a deadly thing in the Christian life. And the remedy to it,
according to Hebrews 2:1, is, “Pay close attention to what you have heard.”
That is, consider what God is saying in his Son Jesus. Fix your eyes on what
God is saying and doing in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

This is not a hard stroke to learn so that we can swim against the stream of
sin and indifference. The only thing that keeps us from swimming like this is
our sinful desire to float with other interests.

But let us not complain that God has given us a hard job. Listen, consider,
fix the eyes — this is not what you would call a hard job description. It is
not a job description. It is a solemn invitation to be satisfied in Jesus so
that we do not get lured downstream by deceitful desires.

If you are drifting today, one of the signs of hope that you are born again is
that you feel pricked for this, and there is a rising desire in your heart to
turn your eyes on Jesus and consider him and listen to him in the days and
months and years to come.
