1 Timothy 4:12 “Don't let others look down on you because you are young, but set an example for all believers.”

There were a lot of teenagers in the Bible that served God. Most of them were right around our age. These teens chose to please and obey God even when it seemed crazy. They stood up to the enemies of God and changed the course of history and with God's help we can do the same. When you find the time, pull out your Bible and read the stories on your own, then think about the difference that you can make by following God.

Here's a few of the teenagers in the Bible:

-- Samuel (1 Samuel 3)

-- Daniel (Daniel 1)

-- Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego (Daniel 3)

-- David (1 Samuel 17)

-- Joseph (Matthew 1:18-25)

-- Esther (Esther)

And guess what -- that's not all of them, but it's a good start. Remember the one thing that sets these teens apart was their devotion to God.
