day no. 14,835: when you go with the flow

"A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it." - G.K. Chesterton

Anyone can go with the flow. Only the alive can cut against it. The current only flows one direction. If you are drifting through life, there is only one direction to do that and spoiler alert: it isn't closer to God.

Hebrews 2:1
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.
