Power, Love, and Self-Discipline

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

There are so many of us Christians out there allowing fear to control the things they do or don’t do in moments that God can truly prevail. If we continue to allow that fear to control us, it will eventually reveal itself making us timid in everything we do, and completely take over your life. What Paul wrote in the above verse in 2 Timothy is a great reminder to all of us that fear and timidity isn’t of God. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. God has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline and we are to use those things to glorify Him in all that we do. So I challenge you to think very seriously about your fears and those things that cause you to be timid in moments where you could glorify God and spread the gospel……ask yourself, what are you afraid of…..and why?
