Godly advice . . . common sense really . . . to help our youth!
(1 Peter 5:5-9) Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.Let's break these words from Peter down to some commons sense advice for our youth.
- Listen to your elders and heed their advice.
- Live humbly, not boastfully.
- Trust God.
- Know what is going on in the world.
- Satan is alive and well . . . and well-disguised!
- You are not alone in your struggles!
Great advice from a struggling apostle for our struggling youth and we adults struggling to help them navigate life.
