Reading: 2 timothy 1, 2 Samuel 10, 1 chronicles 19-20, and Psalm 107
Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:6-7, 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, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
Observation: It is so easy to allow the would to snuff out our gifts and the abilities that God has given us. With the internet and social media everybody in only seconds away from everyone else, as good as that can be in bringing the world together, it also has created a would of judgement and criticism.
Application: Paul is reminding Timothy and by extension us not to let others diminish your gifts and callings. Fan those flames into a roaring fire that nothing can quench. We were not made to fear and let people walk all over us, we have Power and Authority that defies understanding and a Love that over comes all things.
Prayer: Father you are so wonderful and I thank you daily for the blessings that you pour out on us. I thank you for the Power and Authority that you have given to us though your great love. I ask you to help us to know and walk in that power and authority each and every day.
