Vigilance 2

1Thessalonians 5:6
...let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.

Water, over time, can carve out the Grand Canyon through the process of erosion. This kind of change is often overlooked because it seems like the amount of change is so slow and harmless. However, small change over time can make an amazing difference.

I believe we need to be vigilant in identifying and addressing the slow decay type changes in our lives. Particularly, we tend to overlook the slow, incremental changes in our spiritual life. We skip a devotion time here and pass up the opportunity to pray there. Then one day we realize how far away from God we've slipped.

Stay alert!
