Has God given you a spirit of fear?

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" 2 Timothy 1:7.

If fear has come your way, I want to ask you, has God sent it your way? Nope. He never does. He has no fear in his arsenal. It is not part of His nature. He is not afraid of anything and does not share fear with anybody. In this time of massive panic, it is important to fill our minds with the thoughts that are inspired by the word of God. It is a fact that what you focus on becomes greater. If you focus on all the news and facts coming from the current situation, you will be filled with fear. If you turn away from that and start looking at God's promises you will be encouraged, and filled with peace. Do you know that the phrase "Fear not" is used 365 times in the Bible. Some say, even 366. One for every day, and one is for the future, when the leap year comes. So, God has no intention of scaring you. He wants to take away your fear and give you love, peace, and joy. During these days of global quarantine, we have to look at the word of God daily and rest our minds on his promises. This will push away fear. FEAR NOT.
