He Said What? Because You’re Younger?

“Let no one despise or think less of you because of your youth, but be an example (pattern) for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” If anyone is despising you as you fulfill the purpose of God for your life, because you’re young, then Houston we have a problem. And the problem isn’t yours, it’s the person who is treating you with less respect because you are younger than they are. The element of pride is very present in such cases. The bible encourages older men to come alongside the younger men to help them along the way in their God given destiny. Things never have to be done the same way as our former leaders led the way. The world is constantly changing and the body of Christ must be flexible in this area. No one minister or ministry has exclusive knowledge as to how the Lord will lead us individually in getting the gospel out. Without the youth there is no tomorrow for the next seasons of life to flourish. This is why it’s so vital to be able to hear from God for yourself. You don’t need to hear that still small voice to have the conviction you need to go forth in confidence. You may be the type that has a sense you’re doing it the way you’re supposed to, your gut feeling. As we become more knowledgeable of God’s word, we develop the boldness of purpose He has put in us. Go with God and be a blessing, chin up, you got this.
