Stop Drifting & Come Home   Stop Drifting & Come Home P P  GET THE JOURNAL FOR THIS STUDY  THE VINCE MILLER SHOW Do you feel like you are drifting spiritually? There is something and someone that could help. Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. At this point, David and Abishai sneak into Saul's camp, swipe the spear and jar of water, and position themselves on a hill far from Saul. Here is what happens next in verses 14-16: And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?” And David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord. This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was at his head.” — 1 Samuel 26:14-16 Have you ever found yourself drifting? Difting from responsibilities that you know are yours alone? We all drift. We get tired, possibly lazy, and drop the ball. That's precisely what Abner has done. He has dropped the ball. The one thing he was responsible for doing was protecting the Lord's anointed, but in this story, he is found sleeping on the job rather than doing his job. This puts everyone at risk, but especially the "Lord's anointed"—Saul! So David literally calls Abner out in front of everyone, which I assume was rather embarrassing for Abner, and Saul, and the entire army of 3000 men. No one likes this experience, especially when it happens publicly. But the truth is sometimes we all need it. So maybe today, if you are drifting, it's time to be vulnerable instead of made vulnerable. Be vulnerable about your spiritual drift. Get honest with yourself about it. Find a believer to help who is through the same drift and who can point the way out. If you can be vulnerable and vigilant, it will save you shame and a lot of public embarrassment. If this hits home today and you have been drifting and feel it's time for a more profound change, you need to know that sometimes the drift we experience isn't just about everyday slip-ups. It's the slippery slide of sin that separates us from God. It reveals a more prominent and deeper longing that can only be satisfied by God. The good news is that no matter how far you've drifted, God has not moved. He's right where he's always been, ready to welcome you home, no matter the distance of your drift. God invites you into a relationship where you don't just survive your spiritual drift—you thrive in a spiritual relationship with him. If you're ready to stop drifting and begin new, you can make a choice today. Choose to surrender your ways, will, weariness, and wandering and accept His salvation and leadership in your life. Jesus's life, death, and resurrection are the only solution to your spiritual drift. If you are ready to do that, you can choose Jesus right now. If you are ready to do that right now, write "I choose Jesus" in the comments below. Let me pray for you: “Jesus, I know I've been drifting, and I want to come back to You. I'm done wandering, and I'm ready to surrender my life to You. Forgive me, guide me, and help me walk with You daily. Amen.” #SpiritualDrift, #ChooseJesus, #ComeHome Ask This: Where in your life do you sense a drift from God's purpose, and what steps can you take to refocus? Who could you reach out to for accountability and support in restoring your spiritual walk? Do This: Stop Drifting and come home. Pray This: Lord, I admit I've been drifting and need Your guidance to return to You. Help me surrender my heart fully and walk closely with You each day. Amen. Play This: Broken Together.

Pastor Scott share about the Spiritual Drift, the Sons of Korah, and doing the right thing from 1 Samuel 12.

Guest preacher Nelson Attwood, recorded live at Grace Community Bible Church, on the topic of “Resisting Spiritual Drift” – from Hebrews 2:1-4.

Sermons from Phil Foley on August 11, 2024

Hebrews 2:1-4

Are you drifting in faith without even realizing it? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in 1 Samuel 12. I've titled this chapter "God is Faithful When We Are Not." In the story, Samuel is giving his farewell address to the people. He just explained to them that their request for a king was wicked, but he also explained that if they and their king (Saul) remain faithful, they will be blessed. Then Samuel emphasized the proof of this prophetic address by calling on a storm that would have been highly unusual in the summer season, and then it rained down on all of Israel. In shock, here is how the people responded in verse 19: And all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.”  — 1 Samuel 12:19 To me, the most interesting part of this response is the use of the personal pronoun "your." The people plead with Samuel to pray to "your God" or "his God." There is no question that Samuel has faith in God. His entire address began with evidence of his faith and faithfulness to God all the days of his life. What's in question here is everyone else's faith in the nation because of their sinful request. All people are prone to the drift of faith. We drift because we take our "spiritual eyes" off the object of our faith. We then focus on other things and place our faith in them. In this situation, the people have put their faith in a political and military leader, which is a timely warning given our election cycle. The drift of faith is a personal issue with far-reaching implications (in the case of Israel, it is having national implications). But the drift begins on a personal level. We divert our gaze from God and place our faith in other things. For some, we put too much faith in a person. For others, we put too much faith in our skills. For still others, we put too much faith in material security. But whatever it is, we move from trusting in God to trusting in another object. Once this drift begins, we fail to experience the personal nature of faith in God, and then God becomes impersonal (like he has become for Israel) because we have moved from him. If you feel like this drift is happening in your life, then turn your attention back to God. Whatever object is distracting you from God, stop giving it your attention. Stop placing your faith in it and the temporal outcomes it might provide. Then, renew your faith in God, who can provide better and lasting outcomes. Give him your full attention; give him all your faith, which will result in you getting to know "your God" more personally and intimately. God, help me to redirect all my attention and place all my faith in you. Amen. #FaithRenewal, #TrustInGod, #OvercomingSpiritualDrift Ask This: In what areas of your life have you noticed a drift away from trusting in God, and what steps can you take to refocus your faith on Him? How can you identify and address the distractions that are causing you to place your faith in things other than God? Do This: Share the seen events of God with others. Pray This: Lord, help me to recognize when my faith drifts away from You and give me the strength to refocus on Your unwavering presence. May I trust fully in You, placing all my hope and faith in Your eternal promises. Amen. Play This: Stand In Faith.

After conquering the land, the eastern tribes return home and build an altar. The rest of Israel assumes the worst and rallies in war against their brothers and sisters to guard against idolatry. Yet in the Book of Judges, these people who immediately rallied against kin don't even know the Lord just two generations later. Let us heed Joshua's final words and present our wills to stand against culture and prevent spiritual drift. As for us and our houses, let us serve the Lord. Speaker: Brad Bell

You may have heard someone ask, "Can you lose your salvation?". But it's not about losing salvation as much as it is about leaving. We find in the scriptures that people do in fact depart from the faith. People leave Christ and his church all the time. In this sermon, learn how to fight the spiritual drift that is taking place in our culture. Learn to draw close to Jesus and remain faithful.

We are all prone to wander. In this message, we look at a time in the life of the great prophet Elijah. God used him to oppose a wicked King named Ahab and to bring revival to the land. But there was a season in his life where Elijah became discouraged and drifted into isolation and despair. In the message, we examine what contributed to Elijah's spiritual drift and how God worked to bring him back.

In this podcast, we discuss the dangers of spiritual drift in our lives and ways to avoid it. Spiritual drift takes when we are stuck between running from God and running to God. Spiritual drift is dangerous because we rarely drift in the positive direction, we lose sight of what is most important, and we become numb to what breaks the heart of God.
