” Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.” 1 Timothy 6:11
” For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7
We are not to fear. We are to be strong and move forward with persistence and courage. There is no fear in love. When others come against us, because we are spreading the good news of our Lord, we must be able to dig deep and listen to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Our God in heaven has not left us defenseless but instead with great power. That power entails faith, love, gentleness, and self-discipline. If we have fears, doubts or worries we can be sure that the devil is attacking. Those things are never associated with the love and courage given to us by our Lord Jesus. We are to walk in faith and trust while pursuing the righteousness of our God. We are to use the gentleness of our Lord in winning others to Christ. We are to stay on the path he has put us on keeping our focus on him and not problems that are thrown in our way. We are not to fear but instead we are to stay strong and encouraged. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
