These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.
Titus 2:4-5 (NLT)
TRAINING THE YOUNGER WOMEN
A poem and essay by ILMA
The Lord expects the wiser women to teach others
Older women must train those ladies who are younger
They must set an example of prudence and purity
They are expected to show them how to live wisely
Training must involve managing their homes well
They must show them how to care for their family’s health
They tell them to submit to their husbands as to the Lord
Then they will bring glory to God’s word and defeat this world.

I wish I had someone to train me when I was a younger woman. I lived a very rebellious life and didn’t heed my mother’s advice. I was too busy proving myself right when in fact. I was very wrong. My arrogance contributed to my very troubled life. I thank God that he restored me and brought me back to his path of righteousness.
The bible gives the older women the responsibility to train young women. They are expected to set good examples so that they will learn to be good wives and women of God.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for the older women who guide younger women.
REFLECTION
How can training from someone experienced helpful to lead a good life?
