At this, all the people from the least to the greatest, together with the army officers, fled to Egypt for fear of the Babylonians.2 Kings 25:26
It wasn’t bad enough that Jerusalem and the Temple were completely razed. No, now Gedaliah their leader was assassinated. So did someone take command and organize them to fight for their dignity and sovereignty? No, they all ran! They ran, just like you and I would do.
When you’re in trouble, do you run to Jesus?
When you’re discouraged and defeated, do you run to Jesus?
When you are tempted, do you run to Jesus?
When you are celebrating, do you run to Jesus?
When you are lonely, do you run to Jesus?
When you’ve hit rock bottom, do you run to Jesus?
Running to Jesus involves humbling ourselves before Him and asking Him to be our strength. It’s okay to admit that we don’t have it all together. And it’s always okay to Run to Jesus.
