The more I draw to Jesus the more he teaches me to run the other way.  Not out of fear, but out of weakness.  He knows when we place ourselves in position to be hurt or to sin.  He wants us to learn that we can turn the other way.  Running the other way doesn’t mean I am running in the wrong direction, it just means Jesus is calling me along a safer path, HIS!  I have heard words like flee, surrender, submit and from our worldly side, it makes us not manly.  However, from the spiritual side it makes us a Warrior.  When we chose to run the other way, it is typically into Jesus’ arms and once he is there he does not let go.  Even when we are choosing to sin, he is waiting for the moment to come in and protect us and heal us.  My prayer for you is when the temptations seems to much to bare and your headed off the cliff, TURN AND RUN THE OTHER WAY!  This knowledge can only become wisdom once you apply it to your everyday life.  Jesus is the lion of Judah and as we turn away from the things that tempt us, we learn to STAND STRONG for the things that build us!  Jesus is our foundation and we must choose to run his race and abandon our own!

One Love, One King, All Christ!
