"But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. 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." -I Timothy 6:11-12 (NASB)
Sometimes we seem to be surrounded by things that are unkind or just downright evil. We may even be tempted to things, such as a love or desire to have money or things. As we journey through life, we must take notice of our wants and the temptations that surround us. We must then decide our next steps!
We don't have to give in to temptations. We have God that can strengthen us. He can help us fight the good fight. He can help us focus on His will and on loving our neighbors. Through His love, we can be examples of His life changing power. Living up to our confessions and embracing our new life granted to us by God through His Son can be easier when we run away from evil temptations and toward God's calling for our lives!
When tempted, run away from evil and toward God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving and redeeming me. Help me to always run away from temptation and toward You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
