TITUS 2:1-2 - A WORD TO THE WISE AGED MEN

A WORD TO THE WISE AGED MEN

Older men, many young believers look up to you.

They examine your lives to see what they should do.

Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to direct your way?

Are you seeking to follow Jesus each day?

Those who are younger, newer in Christ

Need to see you are serious about your life.

Their eyes are on you more than you realize.

They are watching what things you prioritize.

They need to see you exercise self-control,

That the Spirit guides you, not in part but the whole.

Younger ones need to see you exercise trust,

Reliance on the Lord is an absolute must.

As you set the example for younger men,

They need to see you show love again and again.

Love for your family, for brothers and sisters in Christ,

And love for Lord Jesus, the source of your life.

Demonstrate patience with those who are new

Remembering the times someone did that for you.

Awareness that you’re being watched always,

Should bring you humbly to your knees to pray.

Begin each day asking God for the power

To live as His son each and every hour.

Spend time in His word seeking His face

And He will guide your feet as you run this race.
