Scripture:
“But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.” 1 Timothy 6:11 NLT
Observation:
Paul tells his son in the faith, Timothy, what to pursue and what to run away from. As believers, we can implement the same in our lives. We should run from evil. We should pursue righteousness and live a godly lives. We should pursue faith, perseverance, and gentleness. These are the attributes we should be working on at all times.
Application:
We must run away from whatever God is against and run toward what He is for. He is amazing and we are meant to live like Him. As believers, we should be the most faithful, loving, persevering, and gentle people because we have made those things our goal. Our goal should be to react with these attributes when people do things to us. None of these are easy, but all are possible when we are full of the Holy Spirit. To conquer these things, we must walk in step with the Holy Spirit.
Prayer:
Lord, let my life reflect Your glory. Help me to increase my righteousness with a godly life. Increase my faith. Help me to persevere well and be gentle with people, even those who are against me. Teach me to respond like Jesus and to react as He would. Let my life be a demonstration of the goodness of God.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
