Flee!

In this letter to his protege, Paul advises Timothy to flee from all things that are not of the LORD.

He further advises Timothy to pursue the attributes of a man of GOD.

These are righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

This is excellent advice to each one of us.  If we profess to love the LORD our GOD with all our hearts and minds, we need to want to be more righteous, more godly, more faithful, more loving.  We need to be more tolerant and mostly we need to be more loving and gentle particularly in our dealings with our fellow human beings.

This is difficult in this day and age, where aggression and self seeking seems to be the order of the day.  But through prayer and supplication to our FATHER, we can ask HIM to help us grow these attributes on a day by day basis.

Joining prayer groups and fellowshipping with Christ followers also help to remove us from the worldliness and callousness of this earth. It helps us to grow together in a group which is easier than trying to achieve this in our own strength

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I can read YOUR word each day and learn how to live my life in a better way.  FATHER today, I humbly pray that you grant me that I grow these attributes and become more and more like Jesus each and every day.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!
