Welcome to Living Supernaturally, thank you for taking time to be part of this daily devotion. I'm sure it's going to be a great time as we look into God's word to see what God has for us today. Today, we are looking at 1 Timothy chapter 4, verses 12 and 13 says, ‘let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.’ These are the words of Paul and he's writing in his letter to Timothy and he's saying, dear Timothy this is what you need to do. He is saying let no one look down in disdain or look down upon your youth, just because you're a young man, young person let no one look down on your youth. He says, this is what you need to do, even if they look down, this is what you need to do and that will turn things around, You be an example, an example which means a model to be followed, a pattern to be used for living, a pattern for life, a model to be followed. He's saying be an example and he lists down various things. Be an example in your in word meaning your speech, be an example in the words that you speak, be an example in your conduct, in your behavior, in your lifestyle, the things that you do when people are watching, the things that you do when people are not watching, you be an example, you do not know who is observing you, who is looking at you to be for an example, who is considering you as a role model. So, be an example in word, be an example in conduct. He goes on to say be an example in love, God has loved us and He's given us His love in our hearts. The word of God says that the Holy Spirit has poured out His love, the God kind of love in our hearts and this love needs to be expressed for those even who are unlovable. So, he's saying be an example in the love that you share for others. Then he goes on to say be an example in spirit meaning your innermost being, in terms of intentions, in terms of motives because people can see or hear our speech, people can watch our lives and watch our lifestyle, watch our actions but what about our intentions Sometimes is saying be an example even in that, even in those hidden things of intentions and motives. Then he goes on to say be an example in faith, the way you live your life of faith, be an example. Lastly, he says, be an example in purity, in faith and in purity. Then he gives this instruction, till I come, give attention, give attention to reading, give attention to exhortation and give attention to the teaching to the doctrine. Shall we pray, Father, we thank you for these instructions of life and godliness that we see in your word. Today, God even as we've heard this, enable us to be an example, a model, a pattern that others can follow in all these various things, whether it be our word, in our speech, in our actions, in our the hidden things of motives and intentions, in all this enable us to be examples for others to follow that you might be glorified, that you might be honored, we thank you, in Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
