A Word

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

What it means

Paul reminds Timothy that timidity does not come from God. What God gives is power, love, and a sound, disciplined mind.

Paul writes from prison to his young protégé Timothy, who was tempted to shrink back from ministry. He calls him to fan his gift into flame.

Where it addresses you

  • You feel intimidated about doing something God has called you to do.

  • Anxiety is making you shrink back from speaking up.
