Faith Versus Fear

For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.

(2 Timothy 1:6-7 NIV)

Faith and fear cannot co-exist. One always gives way to the other. It is necessary for us to be constantly building up our faith to overcome the numerous sources of destructive belief all around us. We need to be continually working at rekindling the gift of God that is in us, which is our faith in Him, and in His promises. We must be dedicated to developing a spirit of love and power, and discipline within ourselves.

Studying the words of the Scriptures, meditating on them, keeping God’s commandments, and praying daily are some of the ways we can keep our faith strong. By focusing on these things, we shut out fear and cultivate faith.

Blessings to you all, and I pray for each of you daily.
