How old are you? Too young to drive? Too young for this, too young for that. Do you ever feel that the whole world is telling you that you are too young to be any use? When is it going to change? When will people understand that that being young isn’t some type of handicap, which means you can’t be of any use? God understands. God knows that’s being young is actually a major benefit when it comes to doing Gods work. It means you have energy, it means that you have enthusiasm. That’s what Paul is telling Tim in this letter. He’s saying “Hey Tim, don’t worry about being young; don’t worry about the old guys not understanding why you are there.” Paul goes on as well, and tells Timothy that he will mature and get wiser before the very eyes of those around him. That’s just like you. Don’t worry about people that look down on you, just because you are young. You can spread the fantastic news about Jesus, as well as anyone else. Jesus final task, to tell the world about him was meant for you as well as them. Not only that, as you go about doing Gods work of telling the world about Jesus, you will grow is wisdom and maturity before their very eyes.
