(2 Timothy 1:1-18)
The Bible does not tell us much about Lois and Eunice, but what little it says speaks volumes for their character. One verse, 2 Timothy 1:5 says: (Speaking about why Paul gives thanks to God for Timothy) “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.”
Paul was telling Timothy that he was thankful for the young man and that he saw the great character in who Timothy would become. The book talks often about the things Timothy had been taught or the things he had learned. Certainly, Paul was talking about the things that Timothy learned from Paul, but it can also be assumed that Timothy’s grandmother Lois and mother Eunice taught Timothy many things about the Bible as they seemed to be diligent students of God’s Word as well.
These stories of great women in the Bible are still inspirational to women today.
GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
Have a nice day,

(JUDGES 4 V 15-24)There are many great examples of strong women in the Bible to learn from. Here are five strong women with a summary of their story.
Jael – Judges 4
Sisera was pursued by the people of Israel at the request of Deborah the Judge. When the Israelites came at Sisera with 10,000 men, Sisera fled. Israel was routing Sierra and his army when Sisera broke off from his men and fled alone. He came to the tent of Jael.
Jael knew who Sisera was and invited him into her tent to hide. He asked for some water to drink. Jael, in her cunningly kind way, gave Sisera a bottle of milk. After enjoying his milk—like many people—he went fast to sleep.
Jael sneaked into the tent with a tent peg and hammer. The Bible says that she drove the nail through his temple and pegged his head to the ground. Of course he was dead by the time the pursuing army found him.
GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
HAVE A NICE MID-WEEK. TO BE CONTINUES .
