Read Titus 2

Titus is one of those books in the Bible that if we flip through the pages too quickly we will fly right past it. It is a very short book in the New Testament, right after 2 Timothy and right before Philemon. (Now you are wondering where Philemon is!)

Just because Titus is short and not as frequently referenced does not mean that its words are any less important. A friend of mine sent me something yesterday that made me read Titus chapter 2. One verse in particular explains the importance of what older Christian women should teach younger Christian women. Take a look:

"That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." Titus 2: 4-5 KJV

I would consider myself a younger Christian woman, and I would like to take the opportunity to encourage the older Christian women to pour forth the wisdom that God has given you over the years. I think that many older women today think the younger women are not interested in being taught by an older generation. But younger women do want the leadership and teaching older women have to offer.

Maybe God is asking you to teach. Maybe God is asking you to learn something new. No matter what He is calling you to do, women of all ages can help each other fulfill God's purpose in our lives.
