“Aged women . . . teach the young women.”
Titus 2:3-4
3
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, (Titus 2:3‑4)
“Know ye not that . . . ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:19‑20)
“Bring My sons ... and My daughters ... for I have created [them] for My glory.”
Isaiah 43:6-7
6
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. (Isaiah 43:6‑7)
God has given older women a responsibility to teach younger women. I am an older woman who has often failed as a wife and mother. But I have proved over the years that God is worthy of our trust. I have lived long enough to see many examples of self-will bringing grief. I have also seen the constant faithfulness of God and the beauty of following Him.
God’s purpose for all of us is to glorify Himself, and we should never forget that. We should all “be the moon and reflect the Son.” My children are grown now and have left the nest. While the growing-up years may seem endless to younger women, I realize as an older woman how brief they really are. Enjoy the days! They are over so soon! And remember, although it is important to give your children love, food, clothes, and education, your over-arching goal in the few years you have them should be to guide them to live for the glory of God. Of course, only God can save your children and give them new life. But it is your responsibility to pray for them and to show them by your example and training the joy of living for the honor and glory of the One who bought us by His blood.
Only one life, It will soon be past;
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
– C. T. Studd
