Run 

From Anything 

That Stimulates Youthful Lusts

Scripture

2 Timothy 2

Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.

Observation

Drinking, drugging, running around with women or men (sexual immorality), gambling, pornography, anything that stimulates youthful lusts – RUN! Get away from it! And instead make the decision to hang out and enjoy being with people who love the Lord and pursue what has God’s approval.

RUN from anything else!

I remember my high school days. I am not proud of the things that I did. Thank goodness that at 19 years of age God brought someone into my life that told me about Jesus Christ. It was then, when I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior that I was able to begin having victory over those youthful passions.

I am still very much a sinner. I still deal with youthful desires, but I choose to pursue what has God’s approval. How about you?
It is a daily choice!

Application

I am still tempted, but I choose to pursue what has God’s approval. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords, nothing is too hard for You. I pray for those right now who are struggling with youthful evil desires and can’t seem to break free of them. Help them to pursue only what has Your approval. Show them how to have victory over these things that destroy their witness and keep them from being what You planned for them to be. Give them strength today to walk in victory. 

I pray for those who have loved ones close to death. Help them to walk through this difficult time. Give them strength.
