The silent role of Faithfulness

Though Scripture does not describe the details for us, I am convinced that there must have been a quiet and consistent role of faithfulness being played behind the scenes, a faithfulness that ensured the knowledge of God would be passed down. Timothy’s sincere faith must have affected Apostle Paul so deeply that he felt compelled to commend both his mother and grandmother for it. What may have appeared insignificant to ordinary eyes became part of the foundation that eventually gave rise to some of the letters we now hold in Scripture. Paul recognized Timothy as someone trustworthy enough to entrust with the teachings of the Gospel and the strengthening of the Church.
