“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
~2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
COMMENT:
I find this verse to be so uplifting and encouraging. It reminds us that when we worship God, we are not fearful, but we are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit!
Fear does not come from God. Fear comes from Satan, and he uses this tactic to distract us from the mighty power of God.
Satan will do everything in his power to try and draw our focus away from the Lord. He will try as hard as he can to get us to doubt our Heavenly Father’s faithfulness toward us.
But, guess what? Our God will be faithful toward us to the end of time! The book of Psalms constantly tells us that God’s steadfast love and faithfulness will endure forever!
So what must we do to conquer our fear and show the devil that God is ALWAYS in control? Pray!!! Prayer is our most powerful weapon! Nothing can stop us when we have God as our General and prayer as our weapon!
When we pray with the full authority given to us by God, we have nothing to fear!!! We have nothing to be afraid of and we have nothing to cower from. When we have God fighting for us, nothing can stand in our way!!!
