No Drifting
No Christian wants to drift through life. Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and to make sure I do not drift, I always start my day by preaching the Gospel to myself. Because I don’t want to drift; I want to be like Christ. That means saying “no” to certain music, certain TV shows, or anything else that dampens my spirit. It also means saying “yes” to pursuing a friendship with God: spiritual disciplines, memorizing scripture, taking time to serve others in need, praying for these same people; and it also means reading Christian books that strengthen my faith. If I don’t want to drift, I’ve got to bite my tongue, and give credit where credit is due, and ask close friends to point out sin when it crops up in my words or actions. Please, would you join me in not drifting through life, but anchoring yourself to God and his Word and good habits? Join me and say yes to really following Jesus.
