“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” v. 7
Fear is a powerful thing. It can keep us trapped in so many areas and even cause us to question God, ourselves, our family, and our friends. Fear can cause us physical pain as well as emotional pain. However, fear can be defeated, when we trust the Lord and turn to Him with all of our stuff, not just parts of it.
When we realize that God doesn’t want us to fear but to have faith and trust in Him, He gives us the power to walk through every fearful situation, and we will experience His love and become more self-disciplined in the process. Please hear me, I am not saying its going to be easy, but it is encouraging to know that we are not alone.
Today, what fears are keeping you trapped? Will you turn that fear over to God so you can experience His Power, Love, and Self-Discipline?
