Delaney Street Baptist Church issued the following announcement on Jun. 20.
PRAY OVER THIS
“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.” (Galatians 6:1)
PONDER THIS
Each morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up and says to himself, “If I cannot outrun the fastest lion on these plains, I will be devoured.” And somewhere that same morning a lion wakes up and that lion says, “If I cannot outrun the slowest gazelle, I will starve.” So, both the gazelle and the lion wake up running.
Every morning, we need to wake up running because we are running from sin and Satan is running for us.Sometimes we’re overtaken. Sometimes we stumble and fall. When you get saved, that doesn’t mean you won’t sin anymore.
Before we got saved, we were running to sin, now we're running from sin. In today’s verse, Paul was talking about brothers. He said, “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass”—that is, run down by Satan, trapped and snared by a fault—then we are to restore him.
How have you experienced running from sin and being run after by Satan? What are some ways we actively “run” in this sense?
TRY THIS
Write out a list of ways to run from sin and Satan. Put one or more of these into practice today.
