Unmatched Beauty
Don't let anyone look down on you because your are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)
Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:7-12
Song: "For the Beauty of the Earth"
One summer, my family went on a vacation to Yellowstone National Park. We saw geysers, waterfalls, and hot springs. We rode on a stagecoach, went whitewater rafting, and hiked on trails. We spotted bison, bears, and elk roaming in their natural habitat. The beauty of Yellowstone was indescribable, and every day was a new experience.
But the highlight of the trip heppened when my niece was baptized by her mother in the Yellowstone River, which ran through the backyard of the vacation home we had rented for the week. As we all took turns praying for her on that riverbank in southern Montana, I realized that out of everything we had experienced on that wonderful vacation, nothing came close to the beatuty of a young person committing her life to Jesus Christ.
Just as Paul encouraged young Timothy in his walk with the Lord, we too should be an encouragement to those younger than us who are on their faith journeys. It could be through our support and encouragement that they learn what it means to set an example in their speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.
Father, I know that You are doing a beautiful work in the next generation of believers. Show me how I can be an encouragement to them. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
