2 Timothy 2:22 “Run from anything that stimulates youthful lust. Follow anything that makes you want to do right. Pursue faith and love and peace, and enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.”

God is directing and reminding me to focus on the things that are going to help my growth. I like the urgency and command of this passage. RUN!!! Get away from, don’t go near, anything that would present itself in a way that would cause lust to creep into my life. Run from anything negative and follow anything positive that makes you want to do right. My pursuits need to be things that will help my faith, that will encourage love and where I will experience peace. Fellowship plays a role in this. This verse is saying be around people who are following the Lord, people who have pure hearts, people who rely on the Lord and will encourage me to do the same.

Lord thank you for clear direction and a reminder of what you would desire for me to do. Help me Lord to run from things that are detrimental and to run toward things that will help me in my relationship with you.
