Reflections

Do you know when to flee? 1 Timothy 6:11 (NIV)  But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

Apostle Paul urges Timothy, “Flee from unrighteousness”. There are things to fight for and there are things to flee from, as a man of God. It is not being a coward to flee from certain things. We need wisdom to discern between battles that we should fight for and battles we should flee from. We do not run because we are fearful. But because we are wise to protect ourselves.

We should not be embarrassed by the fact that there are certain things we avoid. Some people think it is a sign of cowardice or weakness to step away from something. That is how some people are pushed into doing something they later regret. Sometimes it is a reflection of greater wisdom and greater strength to step away from a bad situation.
