Follow after

"But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness" (1 Timothy 6:11 KJV). Flee from unrighteousness. Flee from those evil cravings that lead many astray. Flee from those foolish desires that bind many men. So many people are not content with what they have. They find themselves chasing after more and more, only to find out they are still not satisfied with all they have. Men have corrupted themselves by chasing after their own heart's desires. They chase after the desires of this modern day and find themselves empty, broken, and withdrawn from the Lord. Young people are chasing after the so called riches of this world. They are chasing after the glamor. They are wanting to be like everyone they see on the movie screen, and they begin to imitate the world but find themselves trapped with no way out. They are led astray by this evil craving. Many lose their love for God, and their minds become dark and filled with selfishness. The apostle Paul told Timothy to flee from all of these things, and to pursue righteousness, right standing with God, godliness, and a loving fear of God. See, all of the things on this earth will pass away, but eternal life with our Lord lasts forever. So, fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold of the eternal life. Praise God. God bless you.
