2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
To be men and women with spiritual courage is HUGE. It's courage that doesn't come from ourselves but rather from God. I have spent the majority of my life believing and trusting in myself - that's easy for me. But to walk by faith and not by sight that is so hard - that takes tremendous courage. And yet that's how God has called us to walk with Him and He has given us the tools to be successful - a spirit of power, love and self-discipline. But it doesn't just happen, we must use them as tools and not just leave them on the shelf hoping that they have an effect on us - we must put them to use.
