Drift
It is true that there are times we drift, times we know better but don’t care. It is our sin nature getting the best of us for a while. I have noticed in the Bible that God often lets people do the sinful thing they wanted to do. I think he wants them to see what a bad idea it was. Often their punishment is the consequences of their actions. For example: stealing something they wanted and then going to jail.
God is always waiting for us to come to our senses. He will take us back and continue guiding us.
