“Are You Growing or Drifting Away from God?” June 1
Are you growing or drifting away from God?
We’re never standing still when it comes to spiritual things. Either we’re growing and becoming more like Christ or we are drifting away from God. Worse yet, like Solomon, we can get comfortable or even play around with sin, thinking we’re too smart to get caught in its snares. But if we do, we could find ourselves heading down a slippery slope.
And in our New Testament reading, Jesus rides into Jerusalem after a meal with His friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. As He does, the people welcomed Him by praising God and throwing palm branches in front of Him. But in five days, they would be yelling, “Crucify Him!” Have you ever wondered how people could be praising Him one day and crying for His death in almost the next breath? And could there be a parallel between that and some people we know who are excited about the things of God one minute and nowhere to be found the next?
