| 1 Timothy 6:11 – “But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.” |
This verse reminds us to actively seek after qualities that reflect a life lived in alignment with God’s word. It challenges us to strive for a life that embodies the values and virtues taught by Jesus by urging us to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.
Imagine a life where your every action is guided by goodness, where your beliefs and conduct reflect godliness, where faith and love are the driving forces behind all you do, where dealing with difficult times is a testimony to your unwavering trust in God, and where gentleness and compassion define how you interact with others. A life that not only pleases God but also inspires and encourages those around you. Let’s ask ourselves. Are these qualities we are seeking in our everyday choices and actions? Are we striving to be more faithful, caring, and gentle in our thoughts, words, and deeds?
Let this verse serve as a guidepost in our journey of faith, reminding us of the kind of life God calls us to live and encouraging us to continually grow and mature in our spiritual walk. Let us chase righteousness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness and to actively seek after qualifies that reflect a life lived in alignment with God’s word. This word is a roadmap to navigate life’s problems.
