More on the Turns

Yesterday, I wrote about the tendency for us to drift off the road on our Christian Journey.  I have a couple of more thoughts about that.

This morning I was reading through Jeremiah 23 - if you have not read Jeremiah lately, you might want to; I am finding it eerily relevant to this current age.  I was drawn to Jeremiah 23:36.  One of the things that will cause us to spin out on this journey is beginning to rely more on our thoughts or the thoughts of others whom we respect more than we do God's Word.  Or we get to the point that we feel like we understand all we need to know about the Bible.  Thinking, "I read or studied that passage before, I do not need to do that again."

If we are not continually returning to to the Word for ourselves, and pushing ourselves to go deeper than we have, it is not a matter of if but when we drift off course.
