"Bible Mothers (5)"
Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 1:3-72 Timothy 1:3 I give thanks to God, whom, like my forbears, I worship with a clean conscience, as I regularly remember you in my prayers night and day. 4 I am reminded of your tears, and I long to see you, so that I might be filled with joy. 5 I recall your sincere trust, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice had first; and I am convinced that you too now have this trust.
6 For this reason, I am reminding you to fan the flame of God’s gift, which you received through s’mikhah from me. 7 For God gave us a Spirit who produces not timidity, but power, love and self-discipline.
The last mother we will talk about is Eunice. Our Bible Reading is the only time she is mentioned in the Bible.Paul wrote 2 Timothy to encourage and teach his friend, Timothy. In these verses, Paul talked about Timothy's faith in God. Paul said in verse 5, "I remember your true faith. That kind of faith first belonged to your grandmother Lois and to your mother Eunice. I know you now have that same faith."
We do not know much about Eunice. But we do know that she believed in God and taught Timothy about Him. Many people I know learned about God from their parents or grandparents. My parents taught me about God and encouraged me to accept Jesus as my Savior.
Think about people who taught you and encouraged you to become a Christian. Maybe it was your parents or a Sunday School teacher or a friend. Take time to call them or send them an e-mail or letter. Thank them for leading you to Jesus.[JK]
"Follow that model of right teaching with the faith and love we have in Christ Jesus."[2 Timothy 1:13b]
PRAYER: God, I am so thankful that someone led me to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
