2 Timothy 1:5
5 I am reminded of your sincere faith,(A) which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice(B) and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
Growing up we had many to shape our growing up, but there was no one as influential as Grandma. Ma, as she was called was the strength of our family. She was the central force in spiritual formation. In this scripture; 2 Timothy 1:5
5 "I am reminded of your sincere faith,(A) which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice(B) and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also." We see that Timothy was influenced by his own Grandma. In today's society, people have moved away from the family structures where Grandparents have influence over their grandchildren. Helen Baylor, a gospel singer, did a song called Testimony. She said I had a praying Grandmother. Through each note she sung about the power of her grandmother's prayers. Like Timothy, I too had a grandmother's faith that shaped me.
Let us Pray: Lord increase Faith Today so that families can gain their faith by allowing the elderly to become the spiritual leaders in their families. God bless us and keep us on your path of righteousness. We declare and decree on this day that our children's lives will be healed and set free based upon our own faith. Lord in your mercies hear our prayers and heal our land. Amen
