Youth

Scripture

‘Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young,

but set an example for the believers in

speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.’

1 Timothy 4:12

Observation

Timothy was a young pastor.

It would have been easy for older Christians

to look down on him because of his youth.

He had to earn the respect of the elders by setting an example

inhis speech, life, love, faith and purity.

Regardless of our age, God can use us.

Don’t think of our age as a handicap.

Live so others can see Christ in us!

Application

I will equip myself as much as I can with the Word of God

so that my words, my actions and my believe

will be a pleasant example to all around me.

I will never ever think of my age to be a barrier

to minister to the adults anymore.

Prayer

O Lord, help thy servant to equip herself with all

things necessary for the glory of thy kingdom.

Holy Spirit, anoint my mouth and my whole being,

that it may be an acceptable form of sacrifice to our Father,

and a good model to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen!
