Gotta Run

Gotta Run

Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness.

2 Timothy 2:22

One of the things God is convicting me of these days is my casualness toward sin. I treat it way too lightly. This morning when I was praying, I had to confess that I’ve gotten sloppy and lazy. I’ve let sin have way too much room in my life.

In short, I’ve grown a bit carnal.

So I’m putting this verse to memory and applying it to my life. I’m going to be doing a lot of running in the future.

I’m going to run away from lusts. Nope, I didn’t say “youthful” lusts because I’ve found that my lusts haven’t waned any as I’ve gotten older.

The key word in the verse for me is flee. I see a guy in the woods fleeing a hungry grizzly, or a family fleeing a fire in their home.

Flee means run, and I need to flee from some things. How about you?

I’m also going to run towards righteousness. I’m going to pursue it. I’m going to have the same drive and determination as that hungry grizzly. I want to be fierce and unstoppable in my pursuit of the things that honor God.

What about you?

Why not spend some time today thinking about what you need to flee and what you need to pursue? You might be surprised at what God shows you.

Gotta run.
