2 Timothy 1:7

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7, NIV)

Power. Love. Self-discipline. Do these describe your life in Christ?

Thought Questions:

Why do you think some people who believe in God do so with timidity? Why is it easy for us to shrink back, instead of speaking or acting in power, when it comes to our faith?

Do you feel like God has given you a sense of power when it comes to your faith? Why or why not? What might make you understand his power in you more?

What can you do today to act more in a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline?
