God Did Not Give Us a Spirit of Fear
As we start a new year and consider all the unknowns that lie ahead, it’s natural to feel afraid or anxious. We might even be tempted to begin the year timidly. However, in 2 Timothy 1 Paul encouraged Timothy to be fearless and faithful, embracing the spirit of love and self-control that has been given to all of us by Christ. Like Timothy, we need to be reminded of who we are and what we have in Christ. Our Savior, King Jesus, has “abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” What could we accomplish this year—or even this week—if we believed that truth? (Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:3-14)
