are we a drift ?

'He did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.' (2 Chronicles 12:14)

The path is narrow and the focus of our heart drives our walk along that path.
Just as Rehoboam let his focus drift from the Lord as he became 'established and strong' so in our day we have so many distractions as we attempt to control our daily lives that we lose our focus and drift. And when we drift we are apt to 'do evil' - which is to make idols in our lives that replace God. Those 'idols' can be as seemingly innocent as fighting for 'social injustice' which can become a passion that replaces our first love. Any cause that removes God from the throne of our hearts leads us a drift. If we do not, first of all love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and secondly love our neighbors, we will not have the proper focus in our lives.
Lest we not forget - loving our neighbor entails reflecting the lovingkindness of God in and through our daily lives (vessels filled with His Spirit) by sharing His grace and truth !
Is your heart set to seek the Lord ?
