Good manna to ponder on today!

“We are often more consumed with fear than trust because we are more convinced by our own understanding than we are anchored to God’s sufficient power.” -Ruth Chou Simons

I’m not gonna lie, that one stung a bit this morning. We all have a fear that we tend to give power and authority to, which overcomes the power of love and self-control given to us. (2 Tim. 1:7) What is yours? Do you/Can you trust Christ to help you “unseat fear and rest in His transforming grace?” Why or why not? If we are in Christ and we are his workmanship, what can we do to kick fear in the pants and fan into the flame of God’s gift of power and self-control with confidence?
