Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“Teach the older men to be…self-controlled…”
(Titus 2:2)

I have to confess, Jesus –

this one’s a surprise.

I don’t mean that older men shouldn’t be self-controlled.

They absolutely should!

But I would’ve thought you’d say that’s something the younger men need to learn.

Oh, wait a minute – you do say that – four verses later.

So why do you tell the older men first?

I guess it’s so they’ll be able to show the younger men
what self-control looks like.
