Living Life by Design

Every believer in Jesus has a story – a testimony. We have to ‘tell the stories’ (Psalm 78:6).

The psalmist says, ‘We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done… to teach their children, so that the next generation would know them… and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God’ (Psalm 78:4–7).

In Acts 16:1-15, we see the apostle Paul recognizing he had a responsibility to train up others. He found Timothy – ‘a fine young man’ (vv.1–2). Timothy was discipled, trained and taught by Paul. Paul was a mentor to Timothy. They are a great example of what all Christians should be doing. 

Find a Paul from whom you can learn and find a Timothy to whom you can pass it on.
