21 Days to Life-Changing Confidence

Dia 9 de 21

Drifting is passive and aimless and involuntary. If you put a boat on the water, but there’s no one sailing it, it begins to drift. We’ve all been subject to drifting before. We start working out … then we drift. We start budgeting … then we drift. We start reading the Bible every day … then we drift.

Drifting is sort of like when I go to Target. I go further than I want; it keeps me longer than I want to stay, and it costs me more than I intended to pay. So how do we catch our drift before we’ve gone too far?

To reach our destination, we have to first recognize our position. Like in the story of the prodigal son, although his geographic location changed, his biological relationship didn’t. Whether in a house or a pigsty, a son is a son; a daughter is a daughter. Once we’re in the family of God, we’re in. So no matter how far we drift, we must know that we’re simply returning home to where we belong.

Drifting often happens by inaction, so after recognizing our position, we restart with repentance and respond with action. Repentance begins with remorse but results in redirection. Though God forgives us, it is up to us to respond in action by rerouting back to Him. The good news is that no matter how far we’ve gone or how much time we’ve wasted going in the wrong direction, God is still our Father. He hasn’t moved. Like the prodigal's father, God is at home, awaiting our return.

So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. LUKE 15:20

DECLARATION:

I am rerouted by God. No matter how far I drift, I can still come home. I am confident that when I repent and reroute my life, God will embrace me and meet me with compassion.
