"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)
We all have probably heard the expression that "age is just a number." That is something we like to say as we age, but it also applies to those that are younger. Whether we are "experienced" in the journeys of life or closer to the beginning of our journeys, we can all set examples for each other.
Sometimes the ideas of younger people are dismissed just because of their age. We are reminded to not be so quick in ignoring these ideas or examples as we can all learn from the enthusiasm and fearlessness of the young. When we consider age as just a number, we will realize that God can work through all of us, regardless of our age. Recognizing God's presence in all of our lives can allow us to learn from the examples God provides from people of all ages in our lives.
Age is just a number, so be willing to learn from all of the examples God places in your life!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for allowing me to grow and mature in You. Help me to learn from the examples and lessons You provide. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
