Today God says:
"I have not given you a spirit of fear".
He promises me:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind". (2 Tim. 1:7)
My response to the word:
When fear sails in the sea of my mind, I will remember that faith is there too, and I will permit only faith to lay anchor in my mind. God has given me the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. The Lord wants me to walk in His power, love and sound mind throughout this day, and with His help, I will do so.
My prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for removing fear from my life, and for replacing it with your love, power, and soundness of mind. I will walk in your ways today.
Today's scriptures:
"We believe in the one named Jesus. Through His power alone this man, whom you know, was healed". (Acts 3:16 GW) "May the God who gives peace make you holy in every way". (1 Thess. 5:23 GW)
Quote for today:
Worry is ravaging societies worldwide. You could write on countless gravestones: Hurried, Worried, Buried. (John Haggai)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
