Hot Pursuit

TOPIC: What our souls long for!

SCRIPTURE: "...pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perserverance and gentleness." (I Tim.6:11)

OBSERVATION: Whereas we are to flee from certain things we are to be in hot pursuit of other things. They are:
Righteousness always behaving like Jesus did
Godliness fit for or having the divine qualities of God
Faith belief in, devotion to, or trust in somebody or something, especially without logical proof
Love to feel tender affection for somebody such as a close relative or friend,
Perseverance steady and continued action or belief, usually over a long period and especially despite difficulties or setbacks
Gentleness having a mild and kind nature or manner; having a gracious and honorable manner

APPLICATION: As I was reading through this chapter in I Timothy I was reminded once again that the Christian life is to be very active. We are to be in hot pursuit of each of these things.

Just as a reminder
Each of these things
are found in the person
of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ

So

If you are not in it already
Join the chase

Pursue Jesus
&
only Jesus

ALL
THE
DAYS
OF
YOUR
LIFE

PRAYER: Father God, thank you for the simply call to action. Help me to pursue only you all day and every day of my life.
