Exodus 37:1-29; Psalm 89:19-52; Acts 22:1-21
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. 1 Timothy 4:12 NKJV
Experience is helpful in Christian ministry but more importantly, God looks for integrity of character. Age is not the main criteria for service but godliness is vitally important. God often uses young people: Samuel to speak to Eli, David to kill Goliath, Joseph to be a testimony in Egypt, Daniel to demonstrate purity in Babylon, and Timothy as a missionary. Young people who want to use their gifts in the Lord’s service should be encouraged. Failure to do so may undermine their potential for God. —Paul Young
All to Jesus I surrender, humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken; take me, Jesus, take me now. —James Van de Venter
