Where to Run

Today's reading: 2 Timothy 2:22-26, 3:1-16

'So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil.' - 2 Timothy 2:22-24 ESV

Over the past two days, we've been on a broken record of how to invest our limited time and energy that God has given all of us. Here in this passage, we see Paul giving us some excellent advice about what day-to-day should look like for those who claim to be "servants" or "slaves" of Jesus. Our Savior is the one who is our Lord and our Owner.

As Christians, it is time for us to stop running toward that which we know will hurt us and start running toward the best life possible to live in a fallen and broken world.

I think the reason people get so fired up about politics is that we want to live in a better world. Praying through these verses, and putting them into practice, will set us on that path.
