Day 123 of 365
Escaping Temptation
2 Timothy 2:22
2 Timothy 2:22
“Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
Insight
Some temptations you fight. Others you flee. Joseph fled sexual temptation by running out of Potiphar's house. Paul tells Timothy to flee evil desires. Don't linger near temptation thinking you're strong enough to resist. Get away. Change your environment. Remove the trigger. Then pursue righteousness - fill the void with good. Surround yourself with people who are also pursuing holiness. Don't just run from sin; run to righteousness.
Reflection
What temptation do you need to flee rather than fight? What practical step can you take today to remove yourself from that temptation?
