Run from temptations that capture young people. Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with. Worship with people whose hearts are pure. – 2 Timothy 2:22 (CEV)
It can be easy to get caught up in peer pressure. When you see your friends making bad decisions it can be really hard for you. You might feel pressured to go along with them, or not make good choices too.
Today’s Bible verse gives some good advice for those types of situations. It says run. Run from temptations. For example, if you know there’s going to be lots of drinking at a party, don’t go. Run from situations that might cause you to do the wrong thing.
Today’s Truth: Run From Temptation
Making the right choice might not always be the easiest thing to do, but in the long run, you’ll avoid a lot of heartbreak and bad decisions if you do. Remember too that you can win the fight against temptation. You’ve got the greater one living on the inside of you. He will help keep you strong in the midst of peer pressure if you’ll learn to rely on Him and His leading.
