Titus 2:6-8
Similarly, urge the young men to be self-controlled, and in everything set them an example yourself by doing what is good. When you are teaching, have integrity and be serious; let everything you say be so wholesome that an opponent will be put to shame because he will have nothing bad to say about us.
It has only been in the past seven to ten years have I become truly aware of how my actions are teaching the next generation whether I want to or not. Grandchildren are fantastic for bringing this to the front of my thoughts, everything I do is observed and applied to how the those watching will act towards me and others in the future. Sha’ul tells Titus to have integrity and seriousness so that our detractors will never have anything bad to say about us in the future. Lord let me keep my tongue and actions to reflect honorably to You. I ask this in Yeshua’s name, amen.
