2 Timothy 1:7 -- On Connecting with the Spirit

"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


I like this because it shows us that God doesn't want us to be scared, but to be powerful forces for good.  He wants us to love each other and to learn positive mental (and spiritual and physical) health habits.

Satan is the one that wants us scared and desperate and making poor decisions because we're stressed out all the time.  God is about calm and being okay even if the world around us is in commotion.  When we feel scared and desperate, we aren't feeling God's spirit, and to get it back, we need to step back and regain that connection with God, who can give us the power to overcome negative emotions and to find the inner peace that we need to deal with our lives and to do good.

Today, let's remember that peace and calm are the keys to power and connection.  Let's take a moment to breathe and to focus in order to regain our connection to God when we feel afraid or out of control.  He is our center, and he can help us through absolutely anything.
