Setting Our Agenda

 

“But you, man or woman of God, flee from all this…”

—1 Timothy 6:11a

What’s on your agenda this coming weekend? Do you have many household jobs that you must do to catch up? Perhaps you have a fun time planned with family or friends?

Whatever you have planned, I hope that you will join me throughout the rest of this week and into the weekend as we intentionally pursue spiritual formation through Bible reading, prayer, and cheerfully perform some act of kindness done in the name of Jesus. All these will help us overcome any temptation that will surely come our way.

Let’s be guided by these words from 1 Timothy 6:11:

But you, man or woman of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

We must flee from all evil and pursue the good that God has laid out before us. Even as we pursue our weekend agendas, we must make time to also pursue godliness. The Holy Spirit will surely help us. By God’s grace and by our bending of our will to His will, we can overcome the tug to do evil.
