Scripture Devotion
Nothing dramatic has to go wrong. Things merely slip — that's the warning.
“Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”
Reflection
Hebrews 2 names the quietest danger in the spiritual life: not rebellion, not collapse — slippage. Moorings loosen a knot at a time; nobody decides to drift. The Song's bride knows the cost this morning: she hesitated at the door one moment too long, and the one she loved had withdrawn. The remedy in both books is the same and is a Monday word: earnest heed. Check the knots — the readings, the prayers, the habits that hold the boat — before the week's current picks them for you.
