We all have experienced opportunities to fear. Maybe you’ve been faced with seemingly impossible situations, and have had to make what feels like impossible decisions. Maybe you’ve felt paralyzed with fear and anxiety. If not for the matchless blood of Jesus, we’d be stuck in that place: overcome and overwhelmed by fear. We can be deeply grateful for His Holy Spirit, living in us, giving us power, love and self-control. His gift of self-control is what empowers us to take all those thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ. God has not given His people a spirit of fear; He has given us power. And with every test and every trial, we grow in power, our courage is strengthened, and our impact increases.
