The Daily Blueprint for 11/8/10
Young not Little
1st Timothy 4:12b
Don't let anyone to think little of you because you are young. Be thier ideal; let them follow the way you teach and live!
As one who works with kids at my church - I am one of the first to admit I have learned way more from them then they have learned from me - and yet this segment of the church is often ingnored - after all they are not a part of the big church - where the important stuff happens - right? Wrong! They are the church of tomorrow - they are the future of God's ordained Bride! We are to show them what we know more then telling them what we know! They learn by be shown! Let no one look down on you because of your youth - the youth matter -they are living example of Christ - I have seen much love between members in a youth group - sure they dress funny and listen to funny music- but didn't we when we were their age? They are our leaders of the church of tomorrow - They are young - but not little - they do matter and we must listen to what they say - God's word says that out of the mouth of babes wisdom will be given - let's not look down on a young person just because they don't have it all together yet - none of us have arrived - I guess I have seen so many kids afraid to say anything for fear of being wrong - is that the atmosphere we want in God's house? I think not - we must listen to them - and validate what they say - I have learned so much from the kids I teach weekly - I have seen JESUS with feet in these classes - I have seen the love between the children - yes they fight and fued a lot - but so do we - remember to listen to the young around you - they just might teach us a thing or two!
The youth have taught me much! Daniel
WORD TO THE WISE:
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS YOUNG - DOES NOT MEAN GOD CANNOT USE THEM!
