Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-22

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We all struggle with what to do with fear when it hits.

Fear should never cause us to do something we regret. Fear is simply an emotion that we will feel at certain times.

It can help us or hurt us. But it should never control us.

Some fear can cripple us if we let it, while other fear can cause us to make a good decision.

If we are afraid to do something that we know is wrong, and can hurt us or others, this kind of fear will help us make a right choice if we listen to it. This is a good, healthy fear.

If we are fearful about doing something that will be good for us, and we aren’t sure about it because we never did it before, this is not a good fear to listen to.

In order to beat this type of fear, we must push through it and attempt what we think is impossible. Even if we are scared, we need to take charge and not let the fear control us or prevent us from doing what we know to do.

God gave us a spirit of power, love and sound mind. Why?

To make good choices even when we feel fearful. These attributes will help us to push through even if we are scared.

Fear should not control us. And if we let it, we will find ourselves standing still when we should be moving forward.

It can keep us in bondage, locked down and wimpy. Fear needs to be kept in its proper place.

As children of God, we can’t let fear control us and ruin what God wants to do through us and for us. We need to take control and not look back. And we can’t second guess or entertain thoughts of, “what if”.

Move forward in our God-given spirit of power, love and sound mind.
