TODAY’S VERSE
Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
I Timothy 4:12 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Paul originally wrote this to Timothy telling him not to let anyone despise him because he was young. Rather Paul encouraged Timothy to be an example of how a believer should live. I started full time in the ministry when I was twenty and I remember how relevant this passage was to me. I wanted to be diligent and conscientious about the way I lived. But when does it stop? Each decade is a transition with a new set of issues and problems of its own. Shouldn’t an older more mature believer be an example to the younger? Shouldn’t someone in midlife be an example of a mature believer to those who are elders? No matter what age we all should be an example of what it means to follow Christ. Today might your Christian maturity be evident in what you say, the way you live, and in your love, faith and purity.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Lord, help me be an example to those around me of how a Christian lives. Today help me live the way You want me to in my love, faith and purity.
AMEN
