(1Ti 4:12) Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
From Paul’s instruction to Timothy, we notice that it is within the power as a young person to (or not to) give people an opportunity to despise his or her youthfulness. As a young person, the thing that will give you self-worth and obliterate any chances of your youthfulness being despised is integrity. Once you sell out your integrity for anything, the resultant effect is that you will be despised. Dare to be a Daniel, be a person of integrity. If you lead a double lifestyle or possess a split personality, God will not grant you His abiding presence, and man will despise you especially if you claim you’re a Christian. In other words, who you are in church must be the same with the ‘you’ at work or at home.
Dear friend, keep your shoulder high as a young person and stand up for what you believe. 2 Timothy 1:13. Refuse to compromise and no man will despise your youth.
Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me today to be a worthy ambassador of your kingdom as I determine in my heart not to defile myself, help me to be a Daniel in my time, amen.
