Youthful lusts? Shuck 'em 2 Timothy 2:22

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

KJV 2 Timothy 2:22 "Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the LORD out of a pure heart."

Flee youthful lusts - the youthful desires for fame, fortune, and fun are to be fun from.
but to follow (Greek dioko) which means to pursue and not just meekly follow. To chase after, have a strong desire to have. To have what?

Righteousness, faith, charity, peace, and call on the LORD with a pure heart! That's what!!!

It is easy to say, "if I had married....."; if my career had...."; "if I...."; IF - one of the largest words in our vocabulary. That is past, today is the present, and later is the future. Go forth looking around in awareness, worry not about the past, but look forward to the future.

What is out there in the future? Life eternal! Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
