No Fear in His Presence

In these times of crisis when our health, finances, and political stability are under challenge, it is easy to fear. It is not irrational to feel fear. But we must not give into fear. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and love of and of a sound mind" (II Timothy 1:7). There is no fear in His presence. And through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, God is always with us. Rest in His presence. Stir up the gift of within you; remind yourself you are not a powerless victim; do not harden your heart, but love others, and guard your mind against the etremes of the world's system.
