"For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love and sound judgment" -- 2 Timothy 1:7 / Holman Christian Standard Bible
Do you prefer to face your fears rather than run from them? If so, you will be blessed because of your willingness to live courageously. When Paul wrote Timothy, he reminded his young protégé that the God they served was a bold God, and God's spirit empowered His children with boldness also. Like Timothy, we face times of uncertainty and fear. God's message is the same to us, today, as it was to Timothy. We can live boldly because the spirit of God resides in us.
So today, as you face the challenges of everyday living, remember that God is with you and you are protected.

Lord, we are only human and sometimes we are afraid. But You are always with us, and when we turn to You, You give us courage. Let us be a faith-filled Christian and keep us mindful that with You as our protector, we are secure today and throughout eternity.
