Drifting Away from God (Heb. 2:1-4, 8-9)
If you’re not as close to God as you once were, it’s probably because you gradually drifted away … When a child of God finds himself distant from his Father, it’s less often the result of rebellion than it is of either neglect or discouragement. The writer of Hebrews provides effective remedies for both.
Don’t Neglect Your Gift (1 Tim. 4:14-16)
God has placed particular portions of His richness in you … And He has carefully placed you in your family, among your friends, and in your world just where He wants your particular gifts to be used – just where they are needed … If you underestimate your capabilities or if you neglect them, much of the blessing God intends will be lost.
