2 Timothy 1:7. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
A verse I think about a lot.
Amen, thanks Top!
To worry is to go against God. God Loves us. Don’t worry.
“Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
(The Holy Bible, Habakkuk 3:17,18)
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Yes...we have been GIVEN a gift.
It is our responsibility to exercise that gift, fan the flames of that gift.
Otherwise, the gift lays dormant and just smokes or smolders, no matter how often we quote the verse.
Awesome, thanks for the refresh, we do have such a wonderful councilor within. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Thanks for my new tagline!
That is a lovely quote, so encouraging. Tell me about “laying on of hands” — does that refer to Paul laying hands on the person he is addressing, Timothy, making his a bishop?
Absolutely correct. Hopefully the vs would peak someone’s interest leading them open the Bible.
