Fear doesn't come from God. Instead, God provides a never-fail, Spirit-inspired-three-fold antidote to fear. First, He gives you power-power to overcome feelings of anxiety and timidity that would prevent you from doing what God would have you to do. Second, He gives you love-love that serves others without regard to what disapproving things others may say about you or your motives. Third, He gives you a sound mind-intelligence, self-discipline, and well-grounded in God's will and purpose for your life.
The next time you lack confidence in yourself as God's chosen servant, when fear threatens to defeat you, take courage. Think about God's power: you've got it, so use it. Remember His love: you've got it, so share it. Consider the sound mind, the spiritual intelligence, the self discipline He provides for you: you've got it, so go about your day in Spirit-filled courage!
