Devotionals 2020 The Root of Righteousness Week 24
As I write these devotionals, I see a pattern of encouragement all over Scripture. Walking in the Root of Righteousness is a daily pursuit of honoring God by following the life of Jesus Christ. Believers all through the ages knew and understood that our journey as believers would be filled with push back from a world of evil.
Timothy, a pastor in Ephesus, was very familiar with evil, and he desired to walk with honor and integrity amongst a world of wickedness. Paul, his father in the faith, gave him some wonderful advice. Listen to these words: But as for you, O man of God, flee these things (listed in verses 3-10). Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12
This advise is spot on for each of us today, especially in our present world circumstances. Help us Lord to shine Your Love on a world in deep darkness. Amen.
