Hebrews 2:1-4

1Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

-Hebrews 2:1-4

The idea of thinking about drifting away is something that at this point in my life seems incomprehensible and yet I know that even Paul the apostle wrote that He hoped to finish the race well. If the guy who wrote more of the new testament than anyone else was hoping to finish well then I definitely need to keep reminding myself that salvation is not a one time deal. I'm saved, and being saved. God sent the message through the angels, spoke it Himself, sent testaments, bore signs and wonders and miracles, and used the Holy Spirit to show us that Christ is Lord through Him comes salvation. It says the message proclaimed by angels has held true. God knew that we would need more than just "because I said so" so He continues to say things that remind us of his faithful consistent message.

The gospel message is one to remember each day, one to recommit to, not one to be taken and then just forgotten. We are to pick up our crosses daily, surrender to God, and pursue Him and His will. How often to I miss days? more than I would like to admit. I get "busy" or complacent, and if we call it what it really is I get selfish with my time thinking that it is my time which is really a gross falsehood. It's God's time- all of it. 

So on day 2 I'm remember that. I'm remember to pursue Him and His presence alone. 

He is an amazing God worthy to be praised.
