"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." -I Timothy 4:12 (NIV)
I am reading a book that refers to teachers as "teacher-students" and students as "student-teachers." The intent is to remind us that we while we may be viewed as "teachers," we are still able to learn. Our "students" are also capable of teaching us. no matter how young or old we are, we can both teach and learn!
We shouldn't look down on others or allow others to look down on us because of our age. No matter what age we are, we can teach and learn. Instead of trying to be teachers or learners, we can strive to live our lives as examples of God's presence in our words and actions. We can show love, faith, and purity. While we do these things, we can allow ourselves to be open to both teaching and learning as God sees fit in His plan!
No matter your age, always live for God and be prepared to both teach and learn!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all that You have given to me. Help me to use my experiences to live as an example for You as I both teach and learn. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
