PEACE, LOVE, AND SELF-DISCIPLINE

” FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR AND TIMIDITY, BUT OF POWER, LOVE, AND SELF-DISCIPLINE,” 2 TIMOTHY 1:7

Our Lord God in heaven wants his children to be conquerors in this world. We were created in order to praise our Lord God in heaven. We need to trust in the Lord, have joy in the Lord and put his word to work in our lives. We must consciencely praise him each day, communicate with him each day, and be patient before him and listen to him. Our faith must be renewed and built upon. We must make the effort to follow the word of God. We cannot be hindered by fear or worry. A strong faith and trust in Jesus will allow us to do this. We must, however, keep our focus on the right target. If we take our eyes off of Jesus, for even a short period of time, the devil will step in and replace faith with fear. Faith and fear cannot co-exist. We must always remember that our God is a good God and has provided to us power in his word, the love of Jesus in our hearts, and a self-discipline that takes strength and focus from the strength of the Lord. He has given us the precious Holy Spirit to live inside us. We must listen carefully and do as the Lord instructs and wants. There is a time and place for everything. We must continue to stay strong and continue to stay the course. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
