Just thought I'd share a great quote this morning from a book I'm reading about the importance of spending time DAILY in God's Word:
"Know this: All of us drift somewhat, because we still wear human flesh. We must contend with and abate a warped and sinful nature that will accompany us on our journey throughout this lifetime. However, meeting with divine mentors on a daily basis will allow us to make the necessary corrections in smaller increments, so we don't have to go through the shock of a major adjustment. We must make frequent stops. Without consistent compass checks to assure our direction, we can drift and drift and discover too late our miscalculations. (Wayne Cordeiro in "The Divine Mentor")
The "divine mentors" Cordeiro refers to are those in the Scriptures through whom God has worked out His divine purposes throughout Biblical history, and in whom we see the revelation and application of His truth. I am really being challenged by this book. Whether you choose to read it or not, I would encourage you to examine your own "drift", and be convinced again that being steeped in God's truth is the best way to avoid the pain of sinful choices.
