This Article is part of the Series: Arsenal on Thought Life – Home Page
You can begin building your own Arsenal on Thought Life with any “week” of your choice in this series.
But first, be sure you have previously read and understand:
Why You Need Arsenals to Make It / How to Build One
If so, then here’s this week’s weapon!
Thought Life Week 4: Run to Live
Amos 5:4, 5:6, 5:14-5
NLT:
5:4 Come back to me and live.
5:6 Come back to the Lord and live.
5:14 Do what is good, and RUN from evil, so that you may live.
Then the lord God of Heaven’s armies will be your helper, just as you have claimed.
(MSG bible says, ‘ you talk about God being your best friend – well live like it!)
5:15 Hate evil! DO what is good.
MyTake:
Ever really screw up and feel so guilty you just wanna run away from God?
Me too.
Feel like isolating?
Been there.
Yet, even in the Old Testament, before Salvation through Jesus, God said we could run back to him – and live.
We can choose to RUN from evil and do good.
Don’t do it alone.
Instead, say, “He is my helper.”
And He will be.
He gives us the strength to leave evil and run back to Him.
It doesn’t say after 12 times He will finally give up on you, either.
He won’t.
Not after 12,000 times.
Here’s a Brief Reminder on How to Build and Use This Arsenal over time.
- Choose just one passage per week (select your weapon)
- Add it to your arsenal ** (value your weapon)
- Meditate on the passage – get it into your heart (know your weapon)
- Speak it out loud daily (get familiar & comfortable using your weapon)
- Return – HERE – next week until you’ve fully developed your own Arsenal on Thought Life.
** When adding to your Arsenal, be consistent with your storage system.
Build it on your phone, laptop, or tablet.
Utilize Evernote, OneNote, your Journal, or even 3×5 cards.
Use what works for you.You can email this article to yourself at the bottom of this article.
