12/21/12 - 1 Timothy

S - 1 Timothy 6:11 - But as for you, O man of God, flee these things.  Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.  12 Fight the good fight of the faith.  Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.  13 I charge you in the presence of God,who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,  14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,  15 which he will display at the proper time -- he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,  16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see.  To him be honor and eternal dominion,  Amen.

O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . fight the good fight!  Pursue the things that will produce fruit in you.  Long for righteousness and godliness as if it were something to be grasped and never let go.

A - I must live my life in such a way that my God is glorified.  I must seek after righteousness.  I must pursue godliness.

P - Heavenly Father, guide me in this life as I pursue a life that is worthy of approaching you.  Help me to become the person that you want me to be.
