Set the Example

We all have people that look up to us. We may not want it, we may not ask for it, we may not know it, but they do. I remind our little ones of this fact as well; though they are young, there are others looking up to them.

People watch us, all the time. They watch how we act, how we respond in situations, how we interact with others and about others. I try to he mindful of this and still fail. However, just because I fail, doesn't mean I shouldn't try.

Today's word is 1 Timothy 4:12, ESV, which reads, "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."

Even when we are young, we can set a good example for others to follow. I like how Paul listed the areas, in which to set the example: in speech - watch what you say; in love - we love GOD and love people; in faith - we are strong even in bad times; in purity - we do what is right and righteous.

Others are watching us; we need to be the example. Please pray for me to set and to live the example for my family and for others. I want to set the example.

Be Blessed,
