Things just aren't the same.

You see, those are the results of the undercurrents that are trying to destroy our life, to get us off course.

And those are the things that we need to pay attention to because they can be so subtle.

We don't even realize that they're happening.

Undercurrents can be many different things.

Can be hanging around with the wrong people, the wrong friends.

Go in places and being with people that don't have the same values that you do.

You know, this is what the Bible says about that.

It says bad company corrupts good character.

It actually says don't be misled.

Don't be misled.

Undercurrents can be bad attitudes.

can be selfishness, laziness, anger.

See, these are the things that can separate families.

These are the things that can cause us to lose good jobs, successful careers.

You see, if I would have just paid attention,

to where I was in relation to where that red umbrella was, I could have kept my position.

See, the undercurrents were there and they were dragging me off because undercurrents will always have that tendency to drag us, but I could have made the necessary adjustments to get back in line.

See, I could have positioned myself back to where I needed to be.

I think about Samson in the Bible.
