Accept the honor, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good…”
(Titus 2:6-7)

I can’t just tell them how to behave, can I, Jesus?

I’ve got to show them what it looks like.

Of course, it’s a whole lot easier to point the way
than to lead the way.

But that’s only fair.

Because it’s a lot harder for them to follow my advice
than to nod with an indulgent smile
pretending to agree.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Teach the older men to be…self-controlled…”
(Titus 2:2)

I have to confess, Jesus –

this one’s a surprise.

I don’t mean that older men shouldn’t be self-controlled.

They absolutely should!

But I would’ve thought you’d say that’s something the younger men need to learn.

Oh, wait a minute – you do say that – four verses later.

So why do you tell the older men first?

I guess it’s so they’ll be able to show the younger men
what self-control looks like.
