Titus 2:3-5 “Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.”
Sōphronizō (to encourage) literally means “to cause someone to be of sound mind and to have self-control.”
I realize I now fit in this category of “older women”. I am being convicted to do more of what Paul wrote to Titus about in these verses–be an encouragement to younger women. This is the main reason I started this blog (which is in its very rough beginning stage!), but I can’t keep putting it off. My insecurity (Satan’s taunts) mocks me daily, but I will do my best to keep listening to and acting on God’s prompting.
I encourage young wives and moms to keep on pressing on! If you have questions or need someone to listen, please reach out and we will dig into God’s word together for answers.
