Read\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
Deuteronomy 3:28<\/cite> “But commission\u00a0Joshua, and encourage\u00a0and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across\u00a0and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
1 Chronicles 22:14-17<\/cite> \u201cI have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone. And you may add to them. You have many workers: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as those skilled in every kind of work in gold and silver, bronze and iron\u2014craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and the Lord be with you.\u201d Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Learn<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yesterday we learned that God is a God of generations. He gave Esther a Mordecai to help her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same way, He gives you older people to guide you, and wants you to help someone younger than you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How can you do this?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, you can encourage and strengthen this younger friend, just like God told Moses to do to Joshua in the book of Deuteronomy. After Moses, Joshua was the next leader of the Israelites. He learnt from Moses\u2019 example how to be a good leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, you can prepare what your younger friend needs to do God\u2019s work. In 1 Chronicles 22, God told King David he would not build the temple but his son would. Instead of getting upset, King David got busy preparing all the materials and workers for his son, Solomon. He told all his leaders to help Solomon build the temple of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how young we are, God wants us to help someone younger succeed, so that God\u2019s work can be finished. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
