Drift Is Quiet, Grace Is Patient

Scripture: Hebrews 2:1–2

1 We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2 For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?

Drift happens quietly. No alarms go off. No dramatic moments mark the change. One day, however, we realize that what once stirred our hearts now barely moves us. The good news no longer feels quite so good.

God does not respond to our drift with impatience. He responds with invitation. Scripture does not shame us for drifting; it calls us to pay attention again. Grace meets us not at the moment of perfection, but at the moment of awareness.

If you sense drift today, remember this: noticing is already a work of grace. God is nearer than you think.

Prayer:
Gracious God, thank You for Your patience with me. Help me return my attention to You today.
