1 Timothy 6:11

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

On June 15, 1957, a brand-new car was buried in a concrete
vault under the courthouse in Tulsa. In June 2007, the car was
unearthed as the city celebrated Oklahoma's 100th year of statehood.
Writing in the "Tulsa World", Randy Krehbiel said: "Now we know what
50 years in a hole does to a Plymouth Belvedere." Water seeping into
the vault had turned the once shiny car into a rusted monument to the
past. A hot-rod expert hired to start the engine pronounced it "hopeless."
Spiritual inactivity corrodes the soul like moisture acting on metal. Paul urged Timothy, his young protégé, to "pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love patience, gentleness". This command had no expiration date attached to it. The spiritual disciplines require continued attention throughout our lives. If rest becomes our goal, then rust is right behind.
Oswald Chambers said: "The intellect works with the greatest intensity when it works continuously; the more you do, the more you can do. We must work hard to keep in trim for God. Clean off the rust and keep bright by use."
Our capabilities may vary with age, but pursuing the righteous life to which God has called should never end. Don't rust out!

Spiritual inactivity corrodes the soul.
