2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind.”
This is a familiar verse-but did you, do I get it? God has not given us a spirit of fear, but He has given us a spirit of power and of love and He has given us a sound mind. (This will be a short blog-Im having trouble with my IPad.) Many experience fear to some degree; but if we have fear, it is an intruder. Somewhere along the way we have gotten off track with what the scriptures tell us about fear. To live with fear as a constant companion robs us of the life God has for us. If we truly trust God and believe what He says in His word, then there is no place for fear. So, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but He has given us some wonderful gifts-power, love and a sound mind. Yes! Because God has given us these awesome gifts, we can now live with power, love and a sound mind-that’s God’s plan for us. If we find that we are not experiencing these gifts in our daily lives, let us read and study God’s word and learn of Him and what He has for us-and ask Him to reveal to us that this are His gifts to us.
