11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
1 Timothy 6:11
People of God there are some things we’ve got to run away from, and there are some things we’ve got to run toward.
Think about it like this: if your house is on fire, you don’t stop to rearrange the furniture, you get out fast. That’s how Paul says we should flee from anything that can burn up our faith: greed, pride, bitterness, and distractions. But once we’re out, we don’t just stand there. We move forward, chasing after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
Prayer:
Lord, help us to flee from anything that doesn’t line up with You. Give us the strength to pursue righteousness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Help us to run this race with purpose and finish strong. In Jesus’ name, amen.
