Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that is appropriate for someone serving the Lord. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to take care of their homes, to do good. Titus 2:3-5
This passage exhorts those who are older to lead by example and to mentor others in living a godly lifestyle.
But you don’t have to be a senior citizen to be a Titus 2 man or woman! If you have been married a few years, you could mentor an engaged couple or disciple a college student.
If you are experienced in finances or business, your wisdom would be valuable to a young person.
If you have older children, you could encourage a young mother in child rearing and homemaking, help with her kids, and be an example of a godly mother.
This kind of lifestyle is useful for two reasons: being faithful in our ministry with home and family brings honor to God, and mentoring others builds up the body of Christ, which also honors him.
But merely having good intentions about showing others how to live won’t do it. We need the grace of God to equip us and then to show us how to pass on what we know to others.
Do you know someone who could benefit from your experience—both practically and spiritually? Begin to build a relationship with that person today.
Prayer 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
LORD, I want to be a person who with strong faith, love, and patience helps others younger than myself live godly lives.
Since I can do nothing apart from you, I ask for your grace and the power of your Holy Spirit to fill me and teach me how to be a Titus 2 person, a shining example who mentors others in living a life that honors and glorifies you.
“A good example is the best sermon. Sir Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)”. We have opportunity daily to witness for Christ in all we do. Being a godly example in our career, professional life, home 🏡, among friends, and in practical engagement with others as we mentor and disciple them ❤are many ways we can be a witness for Christ.
Let think of leaving a legacy by the lives we touch and the difference we make in the lives of others ✨🙏♥.
Shalom.
