## Resource

Using the biblical example of Joseph, this devotional explores the necessity of active avoidance when facing temptation. It frames spiritual discipline as a proactive 'run' toward God and a way to intercede for family.

## Highlights
- Main idea: True integrity often requires physically or mentally removing yourself from tempting situations rather than just resisting them
- Practical takeaway: When faced with modern temptations like media or unhealthy environments, 'run' by turning off the screen or changing your surroundings
- Failure mode: Relying solely on willpower when avoidance is possible, rather than taking decisive action to exit the situation
- Spiritual insight: Running away from sin is simultaneously a movement toward God's principles and a way to strengthen your spiritual endurance
- Intercessory lesson: Use your spiritual discipline to 'run' in prayer for family members who may be struggling with their own temptations
