2 Timothy 1 - 5.26.23

Scripture - Pick one verse that stood out to you.

2 Timothy 1:5

I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

Observation - What about this verse stands out to you?

The apostle Paul in this letter to Timothy reminds him how much he loves him. He then points out Timothy’s heritage of faith:  grandmother Lois, your mother Eunice, and now you(Timothy). This is Paul’s encouragement that the gift of God, His spirit, now lives in Timothy.

I was also encouraged this morning, Lord, to listen to Paul’s very succinct explanation of Your Spirit. Power. Love. Self-discipline.

Application - How will you apply this to your life?

Lord, today I will reach out to my grandmother and my mom. I will thank them for showing me their own paths to you. For making that visible for me. I am not ashamed of Your testimony. And I will rejoice today!

Prayer - Write out a prayer.

Lord, thank you for reminding me of my own spiritual heritage in You this morning: my grandmother, my mom, my dad, and…me. Help me to fan the flame that lives inside me, Your Flame, Your Gift, Your Spirit.  I choose to walk in Your power, love, and self-discipline.

In the name of Jesus do I pray, amen.
