For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7
In a world that is focused less and less on what the Lord God wants, it can be very difficult to take a stand for what He teaches us, to be steadfast in the faith. We are called to be different, because we have gotten to know Christ (Ephesians 4:20). Even if that leads to suffering for Jesus. When we need it, the Holy Spirit will give us the words we need to speak. We are encouraged to freely preach the good news and to show the world with our words and actions who God is. We are called to display His love, to testify of His greatness and the good news of the gospel.
The Lord has a plan with each of us personally. He calls us to do His work and through the Holy Spirit, He will make us capable of doing it.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, thank You for the work You do in me. Thank You for making me strong, courageous, filled with love and wise because You are within my heart. Please give me everything I need to preach Your message, especially when it’s difficult. Maybe it’ll something big, maybe it will be through something very small and simple. Thank You that I have nothing to fear when You are with me. Amen.
