Withdraw Yourself from the Corrupt

Scripture 1 Timothy 6:5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

Observation: We have so much of this in our society and unfortunately from our leaders. The ungodliness in this country is overwhelming and sickening, but we are called to avoid those who are supporting these types of action. We are to withdraw so we don’t get caught up with this evil, because if we are focused on the ungodliness of this world we won’t be focused on God.

Application: I have a difficult time staying focused at times, but I try to stay away from the news and others that want to discuss their views on corruption. I need to stay in the word and pray, asking God for His will in my life. The word says not to throw my pearls to the swine and that is what I would be doing by arguing with people whose heart have been turned to stone. Live my life to glorify God and allow the Holy Spirit to soften hearts.

Prayer My Lord thank you for turning my heart of stone into a heart of flesh. May I stay focused on your will for this life and be obedient to the calling you have given me. I know you will be with me today so please guide my steps as I walk through this world.
