Fantastic Friday #622 - Flee

Good Morning,

Flee

11 But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12

While the lead-in verse to this passage in verse 10 is discussing money, I think you can apply this to most anything that is not of God and what he wants from our life. When we start the day, do we begin with the thought that I am going to flee the unrighteous life, or do we not even think about it during this part of our day? I know that one of the things that I begin prayer with each day is to ask God to guide me down the path of righteousness and not deviate from it. Sometimes people draw you into negativity which can pull you towards that unrighteous walk because you aren't leading in faith and love. God is very clear with how we should pursue righteousness, all we need to do is stop and remember these words. Faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Remember that the next time you wake up, today I am going to pursue righteousness in these four ways.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
