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.

Mothers and grandmothers, you have an incredible opportunity to impact your children’s lives in amazing ways. Often, the world defines success by what a mother does for her children, like sports, the packing of lunches, the driving, the sacrifices etc. But throughout Scripture, we see that the profound influence of a mother lies not in her activity, but in her spirituality.

Proof of this truth is found in the story of Timothy, his grandmother Lois, and his mother Eunice. This text, Apostle Paul highlights these two women, not for their social status, but for their faithfulness. The influence of godly mothers is desperately needed in our world today. A godly mother’s influence is a treasure, and the children in our world need to see and know this.
Paul says Timothy’s faith "dwelt" first in his mother and grandmother. This means that before Timothy believed, he saw faith living in them.

A godly mother’s daily walk leaves no room for confusion or misunderstanding of who Jesus is.

This text reminds us that a mother’s greatest gift is not what she does for her children, but who she is before God in front of them.

Are we making a lasting impact in the lives of those children whom we have access to? Is it a godly impact that will last them throughout life?

Ponder this question: Whose life are we impacting with the Gospel through our example?

God bless!
