“FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR AND TIMIDITY, BUT OF POWER, LOVE, AND SELF-DISCIPLINE.” 2 TIMOTHY 1:7
Our God in heaven is a good God. He has a plan in place for us that includes all good and great things. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us plainly that he gives us the spirit of power, love and self-discipline. With the good gifts of the Lord, we are able to overcome. We are able to overpower the forces that come against us. With self-discipline we are able to discern right from wrong and throw out the temptations of the world. Our Lord is powerful and loving. With him we can do everything. Without him we are subject to fear, doubt and worry. We are subject to all the temptations this world has to offer. It is our responsibility to accept Jesus and his power and love. He will not force us. He wants us in his family only if we choose to be there. If we choose the ways of this world then our future holds hatred, confusion, worry, doubt, fear and an end result that leads us to the powers of hell. But if we choose the Lord our savior, healer and forgiver then our life becomes one of compassion for others, loving, joyful, powerful and peaceful with an end result of everlasting life with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
