Press On

Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. - 1 Timothy 6:11

There are all sorts of evil that attempt to entrap you every day. There's also things that try to occupy your time and your life to pull you away from God. There's doubt and fear that try to pull you out of faith. There's circumstances and evil forces that try to get you into anger, frustration and hate to pull you away from an attitude of love. There's the little voices that tell you to give up, it's not worth the fight. There's the aggravations in life that work on you to cause you to have a short temper and no patience instead of a spirit of gentleness. There's the immorality and ungodliness that comes at you from every direction trying to keep you from living a godly life. Then there is the busyness of life that keeps you from spending time in the Word and in prayer and fellowship with God. If you're going to avoid falling into any of these traps, you're going to have to pursue the things that are right and good. The word "pursue" literally means to "follow after" and "press towards", with the idea of "fleeing" from those things that try to pull you back and off the path of blessing that God has for you. When you make the choice to follow after the things that are pleasing to God, He will be there to give you strength and ability to overcome. When you pursue fellowship and relationship with Jesus, the things that are righteous and godly will become second nature to you. Don't give up - keep on pressing through to victory!

May God Bless you EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK OR THINK!
